Battery Bars

[R Cane]

Can anyone tell me the date range when any of these battery bars were manufactured? Novak, Deans, S&K
I'd like to use them in period correct builds...

I soldered up a few packs using the DEANS back before the turn of the century around '97. No idea how long the LHS had them on the shelf until then though. It seems though that the raised bar style would be a later type.

The Deans and Novak I had seen up until the end of NIMH like around 2008

I am fairly certain that there were actually two versions of the Dean's bars. The ones shown in the picture above were the later style that were popular through the NiMH era of RC racing.
