So for teams... Go to your local Napa Auto parts and get a Battery Load Tester for about $50!!

Does anyone know if a battery laying horizontally can damage the plates? I've heard it makes no difference.
Don't ever give up on your robot, especially this early in the season. That robot is what you make of it. If you give it your all, something good is bound to come your way. - Amanda Morrison [more]
