I know it was done and allowed at this years Worlds but would it be allowed in a BRCA event?

Looking at these one eBay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Team-Orion-7-4v-2S-3800mah-30C-Race-Lipo-Battery-PACK-1-/280715849024?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item415bf7ed40

I wonder if they are being sold because they found they were not legal?

I'm sure that there's something in the brca rules about the cases not being tampered with, can't find my rulebook at the moment tho!

I think the label got to be in tact and the seam be undisturbed.

case wall thickness has to be shown in the technical sheet for homlogation according to 2.7

Looks like there are places where the case has been worn right through so I thought I'd avoid.

Your own Paul Worsley approved sanded batteries. These battery rules are just silly, when you can sand your way to legality:)
