Why allow them this year and then maybe drop them next season? Makes no sense. I'm new competing seriously this season and forced to buy a multicell to be competitive this season. And next season it is worthless. You think I'm gonne do that? No way!!
So looks like this beginner chickens out..

Do you not think a db gain iis very significant? and I know I gain alot more than a db in my setup with multicell battery's.

No a db gain isnt significant to a point. If your not doing a 158+ with NSBs to begin with then going out and buying a really nice multicell battery isnt gonna help you win at the world level at all. That's reality.

If you gain more than a dB from a multicell battery, either something is wrong with your current battery or your system isnt optimised fully.

Exactly. You're the ONLY person I know of that has gained more then a full db going to a multicell battery and I talk to quite a few people both in the US and Europe.

Droping the multicells bat will only make way for Comp. to make more eff. amps. More eff. amps will be more costly. Ither way you put it it will all ways stay costly.

Typical drop in gain of a multicell is .4 to .5db on two big amps. That can very depending on the amps you have and how good your current delivery system is. And I agree with what you said about what's the point of buying a multicell this year if they are going to be banned next year. There is no point. I have a cs9000 and I wouldn't have minded if they dropped multicell batteries this year. I would have liked them to have at least dropped the battery size down to about 600 instead of 800 and to maybe limit runs of power wire. Over all it's great for people that have the multicells and sucks for people that don't and that wanted to buy them.

I talked to someone at Kinetik and they said the Kinetik batts are fine for the new Drags rules. They're based off the 6 cell standard battery with some changes inside, but they're still considered a 6 cell.

But... why manufacturer havenīt developed more efficient amps in the past ??? I dont see any reason why they should now start developing more efficient amps and not before.

probably because they didn't have to in the past. If they want competitors to use their amps they're gonna have to step up and start designing better amps.

i donīt think. I donīt know any manufacturer who might be developing a new technology of amps just because of dbdrag. In the past a few companies just underrated their amps cause of the rules. With dbdrag u almost can not do money excepts u are as distributor sells directly to customers. So why companies should manufactuer "high efficiency amps" for a very small minority of "stupid" dbdrag guys
