Note: Approved batteries will be required to have "ROAR Approved" Label
across the seam by Jan 2009. ROAR will have a grandfather clause until Jan
2009 for all approved cells at competition on the Label rule.
The maximum case size shall be as follows:
Length: 139mm +0mm/-3mm
Width: 47mm +0mm/-2mm
Height: 25.1mm +0mm/-3.0mm
3.2
All rechargeable batteries must meet BRCA
specifications before they will be approved by
the BRCA Electric Board. Details of newly
approved rechargeable batteries will be published
on the BRCA website. Only batteries
appearing on the official BRCA website homologation
list published in January will be legal for
use at BRCA sanctioned events from 1st.April
of that calendar year.
As you can see i have kept it fairly simple for the BRCA, if we follow the ROAR rules then it will save the BRCA (PW i assume) a lot of time and headaches testing the lipo cells.
If anyone thinks this should be ammended in any way let me know, once we have the BRCA one sorted i will transpose brca for EFRA and get that one done too. We dont want to be buying new cells for the euros |
the current brca packs have a label dont think it needs to say "roar aproved" for brca use
finally
dimensions
to go 25mm you rule out just about all saddle packs over 3200 capacity
