are capcells considered batteries?

are the capcells like power acoustik makes considered a battery?

i have 1 and dont want to use it if it is considered a battery!!!

** BATTERY LIMITATIONS: The physical size of each battery is limited to 800 cubic inches (13110 cubic cm) or less. (Height x Length x Width. Excluding the battery terminals.) The physical shape of the battery is irrelevant. A 12 volt battery is defined as a battery that has a nominal terminal voltage of 12-Volts, consists of 6 internal series-connected cells, and is lead/acid or gel-type. A 16 volt battery is defined as a battery that has a nominal terminal voltage of 16-Volts, consists of 8 internal series-connected cells, and is lead/acid or gel-type. A battery shall have no more than two “unique” battery terminals connected to the system, one being positive and the other being negative. Batteries with more than two posts connected to the vehicle or system will be counted as multiple batteries. Batteries that exceed these 800 cubic inches or exceed allowed number of cells will be considered multiple batteries. (Example: 801-1600 cubic inches is tow batteries. 12 volt battery with 7 to 12 cells would be two batteries, and so on).

so does this mean it is not a battery? i just wanna make sure i dont get moved to another class for having 1!

u can use them just dont put duct tape on them

IIRC, those CapCells are just recased/badged batterys. The big tube style one is a rebadged Interstate batt.

Notice, they have an amp/hr rating. That alone stands out as a battery, not a cap.

well i know it is suppose to be a combo of both a battery and cap but it doesnt say anywhere in the rules that if it has a amp/hr rating it is considered a battery the only definition of a battery i can find in the rules is that a battery is considered a battery if: A 12 volt battery is defined as a battery that has a nominal terminal voltage of 12-Volts, consists of 6 internal series-connected cells, and is lead/acid or gel-type. A 16 volt battery is defined as a battery that has a nominal terminal voltage of 16-Volts, consists of 8 internal series-connected cells, and is lead/acid or gel-type. A battery shall have no more than two “unique” battery terminals connected to the system, one being positive and the other being negative. im not trying to inturperate it a certain way i just cannot find anything anywhere that says it is a battery just because it has a amp/hr rating?

Well, they have 6 cells and 2 posts.

Battery.

does it have 6 cells? i cannot find anywhere that states that. you got a website i can check out?

thanks i just wanted to know where it stood before competition!
