Sorry Dom. This is not true. The batteries actually have a finite life. If you treat them as designed they have about 400 charge/discharge cycles. Treat them worse (like virtually all teams do) and that life is severely shortened.

Re: Ship Battery?

it's so they can charge more for the shipping. Note they also made us use thicker plywood this year. It is now 3/8" thick or 1/2" thick. This jsut means more money for an already hefty bill. Those things weight a lot you know. If they have to lug 20 more lbs worth of stuff, that is just that much more they can charge for in addition to the plywood change.
