Re: What in the world?
If you changed to the new batteries and the problem goes away I would not use the old batteries.
We had to set one match last year at Nats because of a bad cell in a borrowed battery. So now we pre-test all of our batteries.
One of the mentors brings in his equipment that he uses at work that test the oxidation of the battery plate and checks the contacts and everything. The tester is from Midtronics (FIRST sponsor) and it has a printer which prints of about everything you would want to know about the battery. It's a neat little product with a big price tag.
I would avoid that battery at all cost. I would probably toss it so that some member won't accidentally switch it in to the robot before a match. Because setting there with no power is no fun.
