Re: Dead Battery

A really most sincerely dead battery that acts like it isn't even there when you connect it has probably been mistreated by using the wiring as a handle. The stress on the terminals can break the internal connections. That's not necessarily true of every totally dead robot battery, but it's likely enough for me to use this as an excuse to warn people.

Don't pick up a battery by the wiring. Just don't.
