Battery acquisition
We are a Rookie Team and as such, we are sans extra batteries.
We noticed that in the spec sheet the designation is ES-18-12 -rather than the EX-18-12 designation which is actually on the battery. We have found ES -18-12 batteries (at about $86 each) but cannot find EX-18-12. (FIRST has stated that the EX-18-12 which we received was specially made for the FIRST competition)
When this thread was pursued in another instance we saw that FIRST has said that the EX-18-12 is the correct designation and is the only battery "official" for competition.
We would like to have a couple of extra batteries for use during competition.
This just seems so confusing to us and no one has actually stepped up to the plate to say where we might find an EX-18-12 battery OR whether we could use an ES-18-12 during competition.
By the way, the EXIDE TECHNOLOGIES website is no help either.
Any ideas or advice??
thanks
