Re: Main Battery Cables

The main reasons that we want to do this is that we currently have to manually rotate that charger through the batteries that need to be charged which can be a problem since people can forget to do things like that which can leave us with no charged batteries. Second it would reduce the number of cords we have to plug in to power strips because two wall worts and two standerd cables take up too may spots on an power strip. Third because we have to manually check which batteries are charged when people don't label the charged and discharged ones. Fourth because we would like to stay better organized and actually have a designated spot for our batteries rather than throwing them under and table to be pushed around and stepped on when moving around in the pit. Last but not least to give our electrical students something to do.
