i dunno, even with a strapped in battery, the location can reduce how much of a beating that battery can take. we had ours strapped and velcored in on the battery itself and between the connectors tight as can be, and i know that happened to us at least twice, once at pittsburgh and once at nats =T. just watch where its placed.. heheh. always strap it in with velcro connectors

Someone forgot to saw off a screw that was sticking out infront of the battery... So each time we crashed into something, like the mobile goal, there was a chance that we would penetrate the top cover of our battery...

our battery is bolted in with big pads covering it.... yes its a pain to change , but it hasn't been damaged in anyway shape or form

We haven't weighed it after the fall. The plastic cover only weighs a few ounces at most. The cover is only glued on and you can see the glue residue in the photo. It doesn't matter anyhow, modifying the battery is against the rules.
