Defective Batteries?

Hello Fellow Robotogeeks! Todd Lovelace, Chief Geek/Lead Adult Mentor here!

As a new member, congrats to Delphi for such a cool site! I've been so busy as the Chief Geek for Team 86 (Team Resistance....JEA/VISTAKON/Stanton) for the last 6 years that I've never hooked up with you folks!

A problem I saw at KSC this weekend was at least three team that had issues with batteries......

1.) Us'ns have a brand new (2002) battery that is unfit for sompetition use.....(and we accidentally let get into the "good" pile and it cost us a round!) (lesson to all!)

2.) Our neighbor in the pits (a veteran competitor) had a 2002 battery that wouldn't hold a charge.

3.) A rookie team that we took under our wing had battery problems that I think were battery issues, not battery maintnenace/management issues.

Suggestion: everyone ask around to see if they have or have heard about bad batteries (hope not)

Suggestion: load test your batteries to ensure they are ok before getting in the arena!

Thanks for the cool forum! Best of luck to all!
