You know, I was wondering the same thing, but didn't check last year's book (it was nearly 3 a.m.
).
But now that I RTFM, specifically <R51> which is the rule we all know and love, I think we're OK. I still maintain, however, that they should phrase <R44> differently, just because the words "in addition to those provided in the kit" could be easily interpreted as including identical COTS spares (<R51> notwithstanding, of course). Why not merely say "Batteries different from those provided in the kit"? Let the spares rules and <R51> handle the rest (since <R51> specifies the quantity limit of one at a time, as opposed to motors, where, apart from <R43> and the CIMs, the quantity limit is the number of motors from the kit, as properly specified in <R44>).
Sorry for the (minor) mess. I should have known better. I only got as far as <R46> last night, before getting some sleep.
