Re: 8 Batteries -or- 10 Batteries at Competition

At comps we have for matches we have 10 batteries, 10 chargers, and 10 dedicated slots. Battery A is always charged by charger A and so on.

We also bring 2-3 older batteries and mismatched chargers for programming, etc... When tuning autonomous or control loops we are forced to use match batteries, but we avoid using match batteries for trivial things when at comps. We also avoid using them for driver practice at home.

Good batteries versus poor batteries are a substantial performance and reliability difference.
