Battery¶
We found out the hard way that the battery connector and header on the Botrics board is not wired consistently.

HEADER | + | + | - |
CONNECTOR | + | - |
This explains why no damage is done if a battery is plugged in backwards in the connector receptacle but causes a short if plugged in to the header reversed.
