Pras,
The top terminals are very near the outside edge of the battery compared to all past batteries. The spec sheet does not reflect what was delivered. The flat side of the terminal is about 3/16" from the outside edge of the short sides of the battery. If you use the supplied hardware to attach a terminal and place the nut on the outside ist will overhang the outside edge of the battery by as much as 1/4". I feel this is a risk for shorting in robot frame and physical damage should the hardware catch on robot structures during insertion or removal.
