Battery Power

During the battery power testing, it was found that the power usage of each run was 0.1 volts. It was also found that the batteries with the highest starting voltage had the best power efficiency and produced the best results. The higher the starting voltage, the better the results. Although the margins for this finding were small, they were present. The same code was used for each battery to reduce variability in the test, and therefore produce the best and truest results. In total, there were two different codes used for each battery. The tests allowed the group to analyze the power vs. distance and power vs. time (see below). Moving forward, the group will make sure all batteries used are fully charged to produce the best results according to the data obtained from this test.
