Re: Battery failures?

We had a brand new battery fail at us at South Florida. Apparently one of the leads of a port on the 3 port battery charger had its polarity switched in manufacturing. The battery would show 3-6 Volts after we noticed it had died.

Teams need to check, and re-check the batteries and chargers before they put them to use!
