Re: First: 2008 Batteries are D-Y-I-N-G.
At competition (where the borrowed robot swelled) we ONLY use the kit chargers (this year and previous years). At home we have occasionally used our bigass charger designed for car batteries (Motomaster 2A/35A/200A), but we only use it when time is of the essence and we dont have any charged batteries because we know its bad for the batteries.
In any case, I think the Exides were built to a much more robust standard, which is why we're able to put them through so much more abuse. The MKs just don't have the durability required to stand up to a full lifespan in an FRC bot. Obviously, we don't leave batteries on a charger like that for more than a couple minutes at a time, that would just be stupid. Last edited by Racer26 : 24-09-2008 at 00:56. |
