1. Make sure the battery is completely insulated from the chassis/frame at all times.
2. Make sure the battery is mounted securely so that it will not come off during the heat of competition.
3. Make sure that your battery is easily removed for changing/charging.
4. It is not recommended (and may not pass inspection) to mount the battery upside down (terminals pointing towards the floor).


Also, always charge the battery in an upright position.

Could you further explain #1 please?

Thanks
