Bring batteries + chargers from previous years for sure. But even with only 2 batteries, as long as 1 is always charging, you'll be fine when running them for only 2 minutes.
You MIGHT be fine. Get spares. As many as you can afford up to 8. Even if you don't need them all, another team (*or alliance member*) may need a spare.

Last year with 247, we were in the heat of elim's and Truck Town ran out of spare batteries. We kept them, and ourselves in the competition by handing them one of our spares.
