    I doubt it. So long as the battery meets the rules, you should be OK. Sounds like they may have changed how the batteries are made but otherwise they should be OK. Got a link handy as to what you are looking at?

    Should be fine by the looks of it. The "plus" thing looks to be just related to how the battery is built.

    The rules say a LiPo battery must be fitted with a fuse that is rated below the burst discharge rating of the battery (rule 7.8.3 of the current 2018 rules).

    So 3.3aH * 150C = 495 amps, which is maddeningly high. Even the constant C is still over 200. TBH, I'd fit something like a 80 amp fuse which is way below the ratings of the battery but I've yet to blow a 80A fuse in either my Featherweight or my Middleweight.
