Our team (469) has plenty of batteries, so it matters not as much to us, but to other teams with 1 or 2 batteries, it may be important in deciding whether it is worth it for the team to invest in another battery.

We would never use the same battery for more than one match. We always switch them out for every match. Say you have a battery that is charged up to 13.6v, at the end of the match, it is usually around 11v.
Well since this year there is only going to be 2 rounds for every final rotation, you can possibly get by with only 2 batteries. But It would be worth while to get another battery and charger. Batteries usually take 2 hours to get a good 13.5v+ charge.
