Batteries from this year and last year are allowed (and presumeably batteries that are identical to this year's and last year's).
Chargers: Only this year's chargers are allowed or ones with 1 amp capability.
This is going to be very interesting...

P.S. Just for grins: What does YOUR batteries from last year and this year look like? I think FIRST shipped out a variety of batteries this year and last year. FIRST even has two different pitures of batteries in this year one says, "Yuasa." The other says, "Exide." By the way, NEITHER look like our kit batteries which are Exide brand but say, "POWERLIFT" on them and have a different model number than the ones listed in the manual! Last year, our kit batteries said, "Exide" on them, but, I saw a ton of batteries that said, "Yuasa" on them being used in the pits
I suppose that ALL the batteries I have that are the right model numbers OR look like the batteries we got in our kit or look like batteries anyone else got in their kits are legal. What do others think?
These are the images in the 2002 manual -- neither look like the battery we got from the 2002 Kit, not even the model numbers match.
