Re: Back-up Battery question

Just to clarify, not only are you limited to the 2007 charger for this year's back-up battery, you're limited to that charger for ALL your back-up batteries you use this year.

Quote:
Yes, battery chargers from prior years would be illegal for charging the 2007 back-up battery.

Yes, the back-up battery (either the one supplied, or a permitted COTS back-up battery) must be charged with ONLY the 2007 charger or IFI-defined charger circuit, as specified in Rule <R56>.

Make sure to charge your back-ups to full before the competition!
