    Thanks for the reply. It definitely sounds like there should be a limit on the number of batteries used per season then. There must be a reason for doing it though - are they just not as performant once they’ve been through a race weekend?

      Yeah basically. Whenever a battery is used, its capacity is slightly reduced over time. If you ever watch a FE race, they’re finishing the race with like 0.1% battery remaining, because at 0% they’re disqualified. So since they’re racing for millions of dollars, it’s only sensible to spend thousands to improve their chances of not getting disqualified.
