Re: pic: team 842 batter with mount

Freddy,
My first impression is that I see no physical modification to the battery. In fact the fiberglass is an excellent insulator for the battery terminals. However, I would be afraid that students might try to carry or hold the battery by the cover or channel and have it fall on one of them should tyhe adhesive let go. The tough call here is that if the adhesive is strong enough to survive any force, it might just tear out the plastic side of the battery in a collision. It is for just such an event that modification of the battery is not allowed.
