Re: Charging Batteries

Kevn,
I just hate to be redundant but it looks simple enough but it can be dangerous, real dangerous to use equipment meant for other things to charge these batteries. Please in the future use the chargers specified by FIRST especially in the pits. I don't want to have come to a pit to check out a really great robot, only to find a dangerous charger or other implement. An explosion or fire in the pits can take out a couple of teams and on Saturday morning, not only competitors but visitors, judges and siblings. This is not a life or death competition so don't bring stuff that threatens life to the competition.
