Best way to charge batteries

I think it's important to keep FIRST's most important award as the top point getter [in Fantasy FIRST]. It's help reinforce that the Chairman's award, Engineering Inspiration and Woodie Flowers award are actually important and FIRST is about more than just the robots. - Koko Ed [more]

Re: Best way to charge batteries

Thanks to everyone who pointed out the shortcomings of the Autozone test. My team uses a CBA, and I've just heard it recommended around the pits.

I personally like the CBA, but it really only measures ampacity via a low current draw, not real robot loads. It has the amplifiers, but those are out of the price range of most teams.

Does anyone have recommendations on a good way for a team to do their own controlled 150A discharge test? Even the Beak only does an 18A load test.
