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!

That's one thing that bothers me, too. We just bought a whole bunch of new batteries last year (then had to buy another batch after they didn't have the EP sticker on them), and now we can't even use them. This means that we're going to have 12 batteries sitting around that don't serve us any real purpose.
