Ligthning battery

[thibaultferrant]

Hello,

I would like to ask if it is possible to use an auxiliary battery for lightening ? I thought it wasn't possible but i saw this topic : TFC Rule Clarification: Lighting

And in one message it's wrote :

    One further point of clarification: 

Does the on vehicle lighting need to be powered by the 7.2V battery or can the lights have a separate battery?

  You can use a separate battery.

And in the rules it's wrote :

    Only one (1) battery at a time may be used to power the vehicle and any attached hardware.

I am kind of puzzled. Thanks for your answer.

Hi Thibault,

Clearly, the 2014 rules state in Section 3, bullet 1-e :

Only one (1) battery at a time may be used to power the vehicle and any attached hardware

This means that lighting or any other equipment on the car must pull its power from the one and only battery on the car.
