25.5 All competitors at BRCA Off-Road sanctioned events must comply with BRCA Electric Board rules, in particular rules 3.8 to 3.10 inclusive (found here: http://brca.org/?q=content/regulations/1398).
25.6 LiPo/LiFe drive batteries must be charged in a ‘Lipo sack’ at all times.
LiPo sack is defined as a receptacle designed for the purpose of charging LiPo/LiFe batteries and of a suitable construction as to contain a LiPo/LiFe fire.
Does this mean we will need a Lipo sack for the weekend coming?
