Here are links to both the BRCA lipo homologation standards and also the ROAR homologation standards. Personally they look pretty dam similar and it seems that really homologation does in no way guarantee a lipo battery is safer than one which has not. Basically homologation means that the battery conforms to specified dimensions, weights and already has a UN safety certificate. Am I missing something? What is different about the ROAR and BRCA procedures? Surely any ROAR approved battery will meet the BRCA standards. The BRCA homologation issue just seems like a way of making our choice of batteries narrower and more expensive.....no? http://www.brca.org/content/battery-...procedure/1399 and ROAR... http://www.roarracing.com/wp-content...l_20130712.pdf
