Internet news tells me it was withdrawn by the proposer, but the proposal was to drop the list for regionals not in it's entirity.

Tom is correct, back in the day, the list protected people from maybe 2 battery advances, maybe 3 in a year, 1700SCR's. then SCRC's then SCRC-SP's. but when SP's were on there, the urban myths about batteries with certain batch numbers were better than others were better..... I do think that now, off-road at least, the only advantage gained is by smaller cells allowing for better weight distribution.....

So, how did the shorty get cleared, simple, the stick packs dimensions are a mximum dimension.... the confusion comes that ROAR rules stipulate that a 4wd car must either hold a full size stick pack or saddle pack....

The list don't make a battery safer, give you insurance cover etc, especially at club.
