Smile Re: Capacity of backup battery?

I went back and re-read <R67> several times.
The only thing I would be changing is the pig-tail that connects the battery to the board, not the battery itself - which I've already told the team would be prohibited.
I'll go back and re-post the question specifically asking about the pigtail and see what response I get. It seems to me that the Tamiya and Deans connectors are actually safer than the old box type.

BTW. I understand why they stay away from the LiPo's. It would only take one team to leave it charging incorrectly for the evening and the whole venue could burn down by morning!

Thanks,
--Mark
