Re: 2007 Kit

I'm not normally one to gripe but I am highly irritated that they aren't allowing us to use batteries from past years. Our team made a serious investment in batteries over the last two years and now all they are good for is practice, holding the door to our office open, and taking up space on our electrical shelves. The only external difference I can see so far is past year's batteries were made in Taiwan and this year's batteries are made in Vietnam. In my opinion not enough of a difference to warrant discontinuing use of other batteries. Or am I missing something painfully obvious?

I question the logic in doing this and wonder how many other teams this imapacts in a way similar to our team!

Agitated in Appleton.
