The original variant of the vehicle was considered underpowered, even for its time, but budget issues and the general weak stance of the military socially made spending on upgrades and refits difficult. Later variants brought the Bataís to par with competing APCs in terms of speed and horsepower, however. The original armament was gradually replaced with a turret ring allowing for a .8" cannon to be installed, with the machine gun being optional as a commander's pintle weapon. | The original variant of the vehicle was considered underpowered, even for its time, but budget issues and the general weak stance of the military socially made spending on upgrades and refits difficult.

Later variants of the Bataís became respected additions to the military's arsenal (in sharp contrast to the -2 Model), and in combat proved effective at their role as a dedicated transport and light support vehicle; still, the design was never meant to incorporate many of the systems later added, which made maintenance increasingly more complex. | Later variants of the Bataís became respected additions to the military's arsenal (in sharp contrast to the -2 Model), and in combat proved effective at their role as a dedicated transport and light support vehicle; still, the design was never meant to incorporate many of the systems later added, which made maintenance increasingly more complex. | ||

The Bataís was replaced in its role as an APC by the [[Capall 2002-1]] (eng. Horse/Steed) in 2004, but remains in service abroad and as a 'filler' transport vehicle for rear-line support staff. The Capall takes many of its design notes from the Bataís but is designed with the many later technological advances retrofitted into the 1962-2 in mind. | The Bataís was replaced in its role as an APC by the [[Capall 2002-1]] (eng.
