Re: MK Battery Problems

Hate to bring up an old thread but...

Last year we had nothing but trouble with the batteries. One by one they all failed until we were left with one good battery and that was from 2007.

I just got done running the six new batteries we purchased this year with our CBAII in preparation for IRI and they all still check out as good as they were new.

What are other teams experiences? Was the low friction less hard contact game responsible for not shorting out batteries or are these just a better batch.

Thoughts?
