Re: (help)battery chargers

Picked up our first Battery Load Tester today. How we got by 8 years without one is crazy. But after so many battery charging problems last year - I sure hope this helps sort out what is good from what is not. We used a battery mount that had it laying down through the three competitions last year, and I think the shock load on the plates inside resulted in cracking so that we thought they were good but under load they just could keep up the voltage and cost us two matches in Atlanta.

So for teams... Go to your local Napa Auto parts and get a Battery Load Tester for about $50!!
