Following a little more research, the DL5000 is a LiPo with side exit wires. This would probably fail the BRCA rules depending on width. I believe this cell was only ever on the very first LiPo list which was for the trial Touring Car series a few years back. Of the cells on that list some (including the DL5000) didn't meet the final LiPo rules and were removed. You'll see at the bottom of the 2010 list is a section for those cells that were transferred from the "trial" list to the official EB listing.

I am no longer the Off-Road technical officer so can't 100% comment on this years list but I believe the above should give you an answer on the original question, so in theory they haven't been legal for a while.
