The existing battery cart is large and extremely heavy; it can only be moved using a towed trailer. The project is to create a new battery cart based on a ​hand truck that can easily be transported in an SUV or mini-van. The requirements include:

• bays for up to 8 batteries
• strap/latch mechanism to keep batteries in place during transport
• chargers built in
• protected wiring and safety features
• storage for battery beak (battery tester)?
• storage for battery safety gear?
• spiffy decorations? LED strips? Team logo/colors?

This project is expected to be functional by the end of the meeting on November 15th but may take up one more meeting to decorate.
