Re: Mass properties

Two things to watch for when doing mass calculations, etc. in Inventor: make sure the material properties are correct and watch out for simplistic models. The battery most likely is modeled as a simple block of whatever material is specified - not as an assembly of lead, gel, plastic case and metal terminals.
