First: 2008 Batteries are D-Y-I-N-G.
I haven't seen this communicated on Chief Delphi yet, so I wanted to get this out there.
I know of three teams this weekend that had a cell/cells in their batteries die. The battery appears to be fully charged, but when you put it on the bot it drops to 6-7 volts (or lower) very quickly. It killed a match for us, and two other teams we talked to have also had issues with the 2008 batteries dying on them. Let's get a record going - if these batteries are indeed an issue as I believe they are, we need to get word to First so they can rectify the issue. That is a lot of money to spend on batteries only to have them die in less than a year. We've still got 2006 batteries (from the old manufacturer) that are working! |
