As a side note to all, all Nicad batteries are shipped uncharged. Make sure to fully charge the battery before you use it.

That is correct. We do only have one edu battery and I looked at innovationfirst to buy another one but it cost more to ship it than it does to buy the battery. I think we are going to Radioshack and buy a 7.2v battery and wire it up to the educontroller.
