Hi Al.

Here are the specific rules that apply here....

<R03>n. Anderson PowerPole, and similar crimp or quick connect style connectors for joining electrical wires are allowed.

<R03>o. Non-NXT power, motor control, servo, and encoder wires and their connectors may be extended, custom made, or COTS subject to the following constraints:
1. Battery wires are 16 AWG or larger

<R03>s. Electrical components that are not specifically allowed by the rules (i.e. sensors, batteries, microprocessors, etc.) are not permitted. Motors, sensors, controllers, and any other electrical
components may not be altered from their original state in ANY way unless specifically allowed by the Robot rules. Also, the connectors on the TETRIX and MATRIX battery packs may be replaced or augmented with any compatible connector described in <R03>n above.

It seems pretty clear cut to me. Where do you see that replacing the battery connector would not be allowed.
