If you have brought in the charger from overseas and it is the fault, you are liable, if you buy from a UK shop, then you have trace back for liability, exactly the same for your battery etc, hence my above post.

ALL cells that are transported HAVE to pass the same NATO testing procedure which is something that at least ROAR and the BRCA request to see proof of when they are homologating. So, if your battery has come from abroad to a UK seller and is not homologated, it WILL have gone through the same rigorous testing process as all those on the EB list, the only difference is a distributor/manufacturer has deemed it profitable to at the up front fee and lose one battery as a sample to gain sales it may not get if it wasn't. Hobbking are obviously selling plenty already and don't feel that by doing so they would make enough sales to pay the admin costs.

Anyways, after a busy club day, how did the AGM go, did the track proposals go through, dropping the EB list??

even though the cost is £40 and that covers how ever many batteries you send!

so for £40 they could have all their hard case 1s and 2s approved!! Some admin cost!!



7. There will be an homologation fee for each submission received (there can be more than one battery in each
submission). The fee is £25.00 for 1S submissions and £40.00 for 2S submissions or combinations of 1S & 2S.
