I copied/pasted the TCS general battery rules below

ARTICLE 5: BATTERIES

5.1 Any ROAR approved Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) battery may be used, for any TCS class. Check the ROAR approved Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) battery list here: http://www.roarracing.com/approved_lipo_batteries.php

5.2 Sport Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries are legal, for TCS racing. These batteries do not need ROAR approval.

5.3 TCS legal Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) must be 7.4/7.6 volts, 2S-2P specification. NOTE: Despite the ROAR approved list, Sport Packs (round HARD case Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) batteries) may be used on Tamiya models where only a round case battery will fit. This type of battery does not need to be ROAR approved.

5.4 LIPO Battery TECH rules: In the interest of safety, and fairness, all LIPO batteries will be volt metered during TECH Inspection. LIPO batteries exceeding 8.44 volts (2S packs) will not be allowed to race on the track, until they have been discharged to meet the 8.44 rule. 5.5 All battery packs may not exceed 10 degrees above ambient temperature. You will not be allowed to race with “HOT” battery packs.

5.6 All LiPo batteries must be charged in a LiPo sack, at all TCS events!

5.7 Any type of battery connector is permitted to be installed on your battery pack.
