Leaking Batterys

[EricH]

I don't think people have had many problems with those. If you're getting a lot of them, then I have a few questions (and I am willing to bet that Al will have more):

--How are the batteries stored?
--How are the batteries transported from charging to the robot?
--Is there anything sharpish on your robot in the general vicinity of the battery? (And, in general, what is your battery mount like?)
--How are you charging the batteries? --charger type, battery orientation, surrounding area
--What kind of temperatures are they seeing?

What I'm trying to do here is track down the root cause of the leaking. Track that down, and you can eliminate it.
