Re: Running Two Batteries

Bread,
The FRC batteries are 12 volt batteries and under any light load will read right around 12 volts. They will measure higher when you take them right off the charger. Robot rules allow one and only one battery of FRC robots. The manufacturer does not recommend placing these batteries in parallel except through diode isolation. (except in special, controlled applications under strict guidelines.) Heavy loads will measure lower than 12 volts due to the voltage drop across the internal resistance of the battery.
