1023 had a battery go bad this year. We charge our competition batteries on the old style chargers (2007 and earlier). We got down to the field and when the match started it read 10.8 volts not under load. It would drop to 5 under load. We attempted to recharge the battery and after the light was solid green we checked the voltage and it only read 10.7 volts. The battery was from 2007 and was used in 2007 build and 2 events, offseason, 2008 build and went bad in the middle of our first event. The battery will no longer hold a charge.
