Re: Battery Question

Strap the battery down.

Quote:

We have a piece of sheet metal that is above the robot and we want to know whether or not if the battery can fall on to the sheet metal if the robot is turned upside down

The battery is capable of emitting welding levels of current if you short it. Having your safety plan for the battery if the robot is tipped involve dropping the battery onto sheet metal, possibly posts first, is a remarkably bad idea.

Please be safe.
