Re: What we have learned about Batteries
Now, this is newsworthy in and of itself, though I'm not sure how much of it is true.

*Apparently* FIRST is moving away from the Exide ES18-12 battery, and moving to a battery by MK (the ES17-12). This came from the Batteries Plus vendor when I tried to confirm some information about ordering new batteries (as we were going to order more for this coming year).

I don't know anything other than that -- I tried to follow up with the FIRST "KoP Engineer", but they did not return my call.

Again, this is ONLY from the battery vendor "Batteries Plus", and I HAVE NOT been able to confirm any battery changes and/or official vendors yet.
