Confused,
Can someone knowledgeable summarize this thread for me to help me understand the collective conclusion? In addition I am a trite confused on the terms battery, back-up battery (equivalent to 7.2V NI-Cad pack or second 12V battery)? Thanks in advance, |

Note that FIRST does allow the use of other 7.2 V NiCad batteries (such as listed in an earlier post, or the Vex robot battery), but not other chargers - even ones included in previous year's KOP. |

That's what we did. Pulling the breaker is a bit aggravating, but it's better than boiling the batteries overnight on the lame kit charger. |

It is also best to disconnect the backup battery from the on-board charging circuit. Without an attached RC or connection on the 12V supply end the circuit still discharges through the charging circuit to ground. Granted we only measured 6-8ma, but why start off with a partially discharged battery. With supply side connected but without the main battery the discharge rate will be much higher (assuming things like victor fans, etc. are directly connected to breakers and not via spikes). |
