Seriously, i am no supporter of the battery lists, but suggesting breaking the rules is not a clever thing to do. Think how you would feel if half a dozen racers followed your advice and were disqualified in an event. maybe you could even suggest they slip a third cell in as well

Hopefully the rules will be relaxed in time, but until then there is no point trying to circumvent them as its only the racers that will lose out.
My own personal feeling is that if a battery is safe to sell in the UK, and is used as per the manufacturers guidelines, then there is no reason that the BRCA should ban then on "safety" grounds. As far as i am aware the Turnigy cells are sold legally in the uk, and are used within their safe charge and discharge ratings. If the BRCA really want to open up racing and introduce more blood, this needs to be addressed.
