 If said device costs 10x more to manufacture than a simpler solution integrating COTS parts, and only performs 10% better, that's poor engineering. - Cory [more] |

Re: pic: Battery Cart
Are you measuring the current battery charge level while it is charging? That's pretty cool. I know there was a thread earlier asking how to do that since measuring with a battery beak of something requires you to unplug the battery form the charger first. It looks great by the way.

Re: pic: Battery Cart
Surely the volt meter/multimeter would just display the voltage which the batteries are being charged at? That is if you are just measuring over the terminals.
But it is definitely a very neat solution

It's so beautiful. I thought our new battery cart this year would be beautiful, but this has to be the best battery cart I've seen yet!
This would make the job of the battery runner at competitions much easier.

Hopefully you are able to post the bill of materials and prints that looks like an awesome battery cart! very organized and compact.

I'm very impressed. We made a very similar cart with the 80-20 and with the AM 3-port chargers but we don't have the displays like you do, just the Battery Beak.
Now you're tempting me to add that to ours...

I also suspect the switches on each battery cut off the chargers allowing one to see the actual battery voltage (we thought about doing something similar to this but settled for just shutting off the power strip on the battery cart for a minute to do a quick voltage check).

How do you restrain the contents when you move it around? It looks like there is a door on each side but I am not certain that is what they are.
