Go to Post Including the Kinect in the kit a parts is actually an evil plan. The programers are going to spend all their time playing with the Kinect. In competition the robot is just to sit there because it will not have a program. :ahh: - FrankJ [more]

Eastern Pennsylvania - Local Battery and Charger Source

I want to start by saying, I LOVE ANDYMARK!!! But,

I recently found an excellent company located in Quakertown, PA that can get the Enersys NP18-12 batteries in about a week. They also have a variety of chargers, and can deliver these items in one of their normal runs to your area.

Also, If your school or organization is a member of COSTARS (Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Cooperative Purchasing Program) there are deep discounts on the batteries and chargers.

The company name is:

Warehouse Battery Outlet, Inc.

Re: Eastern Pennsylvania - Local Battery and Charger Source

Just a word of caution: Make sure it is the exact brand and model battery. I have seen many posts on CD where a supplier said they could deliver such a battery, and it turned out to be a different manufacturer's "equivalent" product.

While these are generally electrically the same, the rules from 2012 were very specific, and I don't anticipate the 2013 rules to be different.

It only takes a specific question to verify they are supplying the Enersys brand and not an equivalent.

Good find though!

Re: Eastern Pennsylvania - Local Battery and Charger Source

Akash: I only received a qoute based on COSTARS pricing. $39.50 per battery, and the GO Charge 3 bank charger for $153.85. A note of caution: your organization has to be a member of COSTARS to get that pricing.

Don: They are an Enersys supplier. I confirmed with the vendor that they are specifically the Enersys NP18-12.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks,

Eric

Re: Eastern Pennsylvania - Local Battery and Charger Source

Eric,
To add to don's concern we have had teams in the past receive the FR battery which is fire rated. The Q&A in the past has stated this battery was not legal. I don't know why, it is the same battery with a slightly different material in the case. Just be sure if you buy it before kickoff.
