It wouldn't fair!

And at the TT the scruitinears asked the team to cover the batteries and associated electronics for safety reasons. They used gaffa tape and plastic board.

Speaking to Paul today, he said that LifeBATT do several versions of battery, and some of them do have a rate of 20C, but on this bike they chose to use ones with a lower discharge rate.

[rainstormaeroponics]

LifeBATT modules are rated for continuous discharge at 12C. The pulse rating is 14C and peak rating is 20C !
