Re: paper: Team 1073 Battery Pamphlet

Bud and 1073,
I like your pamphlet, very professional looking. I would like to add one thing to your list of "Don't"s. Don't hold or lift the battery by the wires. The terminals are kind of fragile and will break just inside the case where they are not repairable. That and it's really dangerous when dropped. Batteries should be handled by two hands.
I am working on a theory that you might be able to help with. I saw a lot of teams with vastly reduced life on their batteries last year. I am thinking that high discharge currents caused the internal plates to warp and produce a spot where the glass mat was compressed. I need more info so if you see newer batteries with reduced capacity can you question the team on how much current their robot draws in operation? i.e. turns, multiple functions, how many matches can they run on one battery, etc. I am particularly interested in drive train types vs. battery life.
Thanks, nice work!
