The "super-charger" that I'm referring is a industrial supply used specifically to re-charge batteries. Your output voltage is 14,4V and your Imax is 60A.
The batteries is connected in paralell, so I can charge one batterie or five, six batteries at the same time.

For each output of the charge, there is a internal circuit to limit the current around five point two amperes... we did tests into school to validate the charger.

We won't use the charger in the pit. Our intention is carry the batteries from competition to the hotel, and then, re-charge it.

Is secure! We (mentors) every time looking for mantain, before everyhing, the integrity of the student's health and ourselves.


About the outlets Katy, this year is the sixth time that we'll compete in the USA and along the time, we acquired some experience about your country. We are carrying many NEMA 5-15 (North American 15A/125V grounded) adapters.

However, I'd like to thanks your atention. In our first year ( 2004 with the team 1382 ) we had MANY troubles with this. This thread maybe can help too the Rookie Chilean Team that will compete in LA with us.


And Chris, I solved everything yesterday at the night. The batteries is coming by Conway freight (probably because the total weight is 227lbs). The appointment schedule that they sent me is 03/06. Could you let me know by PM if anything gonna wrong?



Please, sorry me by my language english. I never did english classes.
