Does anyone know what the deal is over the same cells in different logos? for example the LRP cells are on the list, but Nosram arnt, does that make nosram cells illegal or legal to use? Can someone who actually knows please verify this please.

Paul, they are not labeled as LRP, they are VTecs.
Our Nosram VTecs will be fine dude, whichever crazy name we choose! G

if it aint on the list it aint legal. don't the nosram one's come with red heat shrinky instead of the the blue v-tec type?
if its the same heat shrinked cell as the list but with a nosram matchers sticker then they should be fine

my last year cells were the same heat shrink just a different sticker on the top so if this years ones are the same then i cant see that being an issue or am i reading things wrong :S also have you all seen that you cant direct solder anymore

Yeh the direct solder not being allowed has been around since last year now as its a potentional risk, all battries must have some sort of easy connector on them if they need to be removed from any car at any point, I'll be making an investment in some of orion sho's when i eventually get the money

Anyone wanna buy 8 packs of 4200's and 5 packs of 3800's?

you know what, I dunno if it is me being full of a head cold or not, but this statement really pisses me off. From the 2007 list backwards, it has always been that what has been homologated before would always be legal for racing. Now, if we were all to do as you say Chris says, we would all only buy cells annually at the same time of the year and not for the rest of the year.....
So how long before the list comes out should we stop buying cells? I bought mine at the end of September as I really needed them..... Most of the cells on the list were not available, and how was I to predict, should I of not bothered buying cells and gone racing to make up the numbers. I was really hoping to maybe get a reserve for a national, but I am not going to go out and buy 5 packs of cells for one race, and these cells are way to new to replace. If I wasn't thinking of doing a National, it wouldn't bother me, but I was and it does, don't matter HOW you butter it.

I was very close to getting 5 packs off sloppy, its only the fact I spent the cash that stopped me!
oh well I have calmed down a bit, bit still a bit peeved that if I do nationals I need new cells! even though I was going to manage for another year on 3700's!
