Mike,
This is also a big problem for me. Not only does this promote using one hand to carry the battery (always a bad idea), it also causes significant battery damage. By holding and carrying the battery by the wires, there is undue stress placed on the joint inside the battery. This joint will fail unexpectedly causing an open circuit when powering the robot, but may check OK with a meter without a load.
