Re: Bad Battery Example
We have the same tester and have used it to test our battery collection. We found two that had the same cell pattern shown, they are scheduled to be recycled. (They are also from 2006). We've ranked the batteries in order of performance, so we have 5 good ones for matches and three for general testing / shop use.

I also tested our VEX battery supply (with 9 teams we have a lot of them) and was able to pull out some ones that were not 100%. I'll be bringing the tester to Fingerlakes and Drexel and if teams can give them up for 30 minutes at a time I can test batteries for teams.

The tester has been very helpful and I think has paid for itself.
