Re: Annual/Seasonal maintenance items

Double checking battery status. We've been caught by dead batteries before at several competitions before, and in our experience, we don't have time in the gap between stop build and competition as we're always busy with our withholding allowance. Go through each battery, not just with a battery beak, but ideally another load tester to double check it. Make a spreadsheet and put all of that data and then establish which ones are relegated to practice only, and which ones need to be just plain out thrown away. Make sure to dispose of the batteries properly too.
