I would imagine/speculate that the batteries will be the same as always for 2012.
Don, I didn't remember the two year old part... Haha.

I'm just looking to avoid a 2007 (I think that was the year) when the batteries changed from one model to another leaving teams like 816 with two competition batteries and a half dozen batteries that were only good for practice and charging our pneumatics.
