Re: Leaking Batterys

Hmmm...

Was there anything unusual you noticed with the robot before the acid leaked?

As a temporary measure, I'd suggest putting the battery upright, if possible. This will lower the chances that the vent valves release with acid ready to exit.

Beyond that, I'm way out of my depth, and will confine myself to hoping that Al Skierkiewicz finds this thread.
