Re: How does your team charge & test batteries?
We just use the load tester you bought to test batteries preseason. During competition we a Fluke voltmeter to check how charged the battery is. As for a system of charging batteries, we label each battery a letter. Starting with A we use them sequentially for each match. This seems to work for us because the battery we use next is the one that has been charging the longest and theoretically should have the best charge. I hope this helps!
