Team 1073 Battery Pamphlet

For battery health/capacity we bought a pretty cheap static 50A battery tester from www.harborfreight.com ($10, item 93784). The 50A is close to the 3C/54A load (3 times "Capacity" which is 18Ah=54A) recommended for static testing batteries. We added a set of anderson connectors so we can simply plug in the battery and read the voltage which provides an indication of SoC. A flick of a switch provides a short 15 second test to determine health/capacity.
