I don't know if I would call them budget batteries since they do cost about the same as big car batteries. But the NSB has a car version that is the same as there telecom version.

the rules say 6 cell 12 volt automotive battery don't they? Is the NSB90 an automotive battery? No it is not so that should be the answer...now I seriously doubt any judges will enforce it that strictly but at finals its probobly something they will get a bug up their butt about

I talked to someone at Kinetik and they said the Kinetiks are based on the 6 cell standard type batteries and will be fine for the Drags classes.

size limited for each class of course. So, if my math is correct, the khc2000 is the biggest kinetik for StreetA, and the 2400 can be used in both B and C

and what if just a different label brands a battery for automotive use?

the label is the battery if it says telecom its not automotive even if the batt is the same...example the blue top and yellow top are both the same battery but the blue top is not automotive it is marine...same deal here it doesn't matter if its the same its not automotive

i don΄t think its a good point. Special labeled batteries for automotive use are mostly (at least in germany) about 2 times more expensive. Also many people are using the original battery cause u get the same for the half price.

you can fit an nsb in a blazer pretty easily
Oh yeah, what size? cause the Yellow Top and the Kinetik 1800 seem to be the only ones that fit, it might also depend on the year Blazer you mean. I'm in a 2001, and the space is too tight for anything big.

i would be pissd if i got 2 datona and they said i couldnt use my nsb. that would mean i have had every bat i have owned dq'ed since 2005.

The batteries that I have right now, from 2006 two NSB90's, and from 2007 two CS9000's.
If they don't allow the NSB90's, 2008 everything is for sale, including the CRX. I know it sounds stupid, but what's next? I've WASTED way too much money on this worthless sport over the last 10 years. Not sure if I want to continue throwing my money away.
Then again, I'll probably change my mind again next week anyway.
Maybe I should buy equipment on the approved product list and compete in Street Stock with my Aztek, but then next year they will change the approved product list and outlaw Aztek's, and then I will have to buy all new equipment again, and buy a new car.

Yup no problems fitting either a NSB-90 or Optima 31 in my 99 Blazer. Maybe these pics will help.

but u are especially talking about designed and not labeled ???
I can tell u at least two "manufacturer" who are doing relabeling batteries like Hawker, Nsb and sells them for automotive use. But the "original" battery was not labeled for automotive use. When i think about this i even can not tell u more than 3 real manufacturers who are producing their batteries especially for automotive use.
Lets say guys like Cactus etc comes with new batteries. Will they be legal? How do u want to know if that battery they use was originally bulit and just not labeled for automotive use.
Wayne - i see there a big new grey area comming .... if u only allow products labeled for automotive use everybody will "produce" his own battery - the same as with multicells in the past

a list of the most commonly used batteries and if they are ok or not ok to use... I know it could take a while... (I.E. NSB, Optima, Kinetik ect.)

Peter, i think u know that its a very big problem to define what battery is for automotive use and what not ... I suppose that in your post there was a bit of irony but would u ban hawker hx400 although that battery is sold with different label for automotive use?
posted
so when you screw the normal batt poles on a nsb it is automotive with the m6 bolts it is telecom
someone is doing a good job here
