My husband built our team a battery cart last year using 6 chargers (same as in KOP). He had already put Anderson connectors on the ends and mounted the connectors on the bottom side of the shelves to plug in each battery. He color coded the ends so you know which battery is where when on the cart. It is on wheels and designed to neatly fit under the counter in the pit. This has helped our students to keep track of what is charged and what needs to sit for a while. It is also easy to remove one and replace when the charger goes bad. We bought spare chargers at Wal-Mart that were the same as the KOP. We have been happy with this system. This also helps in space limitations in the shop. We had to move to a smaller place this year, so we can maintain the batteries in a better organized way. I do recommend that you keep track of dates on the batteries. Most batteries are not meant to last more than 4 or 5 years. We also had invested in a load tester and try to test the batteries before competitions to ensure we don"t need to buy new ones.
