Re: Battery acquisition

From The FIRST Forums :
Quote:
The Exide EX18-12 batteries provided in the 2003 Kits are of a "deep cycle" internal construction especially manufactured this year for FIRST Robotics. Regular EX18-12 batteries obtained from a battery retailer will most likely be of a different internal build, and may not have the same reserve capacity as those provided by FIRST. You may use a purchased EX18-12 for practicing, etc., but should use the provided batteries during official FIRST competition matches.
So, it seems that there will be no extra batteries during competition matches, only the two in the kit. Of course, you can use spare batteries for practice and use in the pit, just not the matches.
