battery position

[frsttimer]

my question is is it ok to stand batteries on end instead of laying them on their side due to lack of space on the axel wk akels narrow revolver wheels rock claws if that helps

You are kidding right?

[frsttimer]

no im new so i was only asking a question besides it doesnt matter i figured out what i needed to do so no help is needed. what i dont understand is why a person that is new to the hobby asking questions should be afraid to ask.

doesn't matter which way you put the battery's.

Shouldnt be a problem but be sure the ends arent in no way gonna touch any metal or they will short and fry.

You shouldn't be afraid to ask questions. But come on, how many devices have you used in your life that use batteries? How many does it matter what position they are in? Plus think about the position that these rigs are in most of the time. They are rarely sitting level. A little common sense goes a long way. ;)

NO NO NO,you can't stand them on end straight from the factory. It'll ruin them.



The only way it'll work without damage to the cells,is if you paint them green and you have to wear a pair of yellow tights with a hot pink mini skirt while crawling.

Its true!!! ive seen it done before

[frsttimer]

i made my own 6 cell split pack 3 on each side wraped them heavily with electrical tape so there is no metal exposed. it was just a currious question i had but figured out a way so it doesnt matter.
