Battery Trouble? You’re at the right place.

Over the last year 5937 has learned of many useful resources about the Lead-Acid batteries we use in FRC, which we just want to quickly put here. This page will be expanded upon later.

Surface Charge

When charging fast like 6A you can seem to have just a bit more current than you really do.

PowerBeak

The PowerBeak is a very useful product that measures multiple qualities of a battery. The manual found here can be very useful and on page 11 talks about surface charge as well.

We’re not the only team to try to publish our battery research

Especially until this page is finished, there is a lot of insight to be found at Team 1640’s wiki which talks about use of a Computerized Battery Analyzer that we are awaiting delivery of now after reading about.
