Good Practices
Good practices:
-
Using a battery beak can help determine the battery connection and “charge.” A common misconception is that if you see "Good 130%" on the battery beak, it's a good battery to use, but that's actually wrong. The 130% only says how long it has been off the charger, not the actual charge of the battery. You should actually be looking for the resistance and the voltage at 0 amps. The resistance should ideally be under 0.015 ohms(15 milliohms) for comp, and 0.020 ohms (20 milliohms) for practice or testing, and the voltage should ideally be over 13 volts.

However, you might need several batteries during the competition to ensure you have good batteries for all matches.
-
Labeling batteries is essential in the pits to organize and make sure you aren’t using a “dead” or used battery. It is also useful to make sure the battery is where it should be.
