List from Mike (preventative measures):
Batteries
Battery Beak, logging and tracking internal resistance
Make a google spreadsheet to track battery data
Use computer to collect data/make a graph about voltage over time
Put meaningful labels on the batteries
Build load testing board
Resistors!
Power Distribution Panel
​Can read voltage/current on every port
Could be used for diagnostics
