The correct battery is the Exide Powerfit ES 18-12.
Last years battery was the EX 18-12.
Apart from the label, both batteries are identical.
If anybody needs batteries at this late stage of the game,
you'd better email me quickly!

gvanman, we've contradicted each other in similar threads on this before, and I don't know what they sent you, but the batteries we received in the kit this year were marked EX. We got some spares from Exide directly and they look and behave identical except they say ES. But it doesn't matter if they are identical, FIRST has ruled that you must use the ones sent in the kit for competition, and according to the kit of parts (and what we received) that is the EX 18-12.
