Re: First: 2008 Batteries are D-Y-I-N-G.

33 has had issues with a couple batteries, but we determined it was due to really hard impacts. This years game lended itself to some rather spectacular crashes. 1 battery had a visible deformation, and the other had a noticeable hot spot right after the match. As Al said we suspect internal damage on both of those batteries (the bulged one was rather obvious.

As pointed out by others, make sure you read up on your batteries, Lead acid, NiCD, NiMH, and Li-Ion all have unique peculiarities to them. Some like to be deep cycled, others will get destroyed doing this. Some have memory, some don't. Some give off a superficial full-charge when really they aren't full. Assuming whats good for one type is good for another can be very dangerous and at a minimum, costly.
