Let's talk about minibot batteries. As I posted earlier, you may not modify any battery including the minibot batteries. There are two types of legal minibot batteries and the difference is simply the color of the shrink wrap. If you purchased your batteries in the last six to eight months, they likely came in black shrink wrap. If you purchased them earlier or bought them from someone who still had older style on the shelf, then the shrink is clear. Both are legal FTC and minibot batteries. The black looks cooler while the clear allows you to see if there is any damage or leaking. Modifying includes removing the connector or adding a different one, cutting the wires, opening the shrink wrap and/or separating the cells.
Battery chargers....

Good Luck everyone!
So, it is illegal to use a different connector on the minibot?
