I must admit it does strike me as a little daft that cell approval only occurs once a year - cell tech moved on quite a lot in the last 12 months or so.
By the start of the winter season there were a lot of people running new cells on the gamble their chosen version would be approved, not just Darkpowers but others too. Ironically given how popular the gold packs were, Darkpowers were regarded as the 'safe' bet to be in.
People got new cells early because they needed new cells. Yes they could have gotten 2009 list cells, but who wants last years 4000mAh 25C when you could have the latest 5000mAh 40C? Buy last years and be at a disadvantage when the new list comes out or go for the new tech and hope its approved.....




Anyway - all that said time to get off Trakpowers case. Sure you might have lost a few quid buying cells that are perfectly good for club meets but not nationals or regionals (and even then you can use them for practice!), but thats nothing compared to what Trakpower have lost. Because I can't imagine them selling many packs this year.......
