Re: What in the world?

Lead acid batteries can actually go bad rather quickly if you're not careful. If you constantly keep them charged up and stuff, they'll last you a decently long time.

On the other hand, if you run the battery flat, like I know many robots can do, and leave it that way for a few hours, it'll sulfate and die. So the moral is, keep your batteries charged at all times.
