You're correct. There is no "illegal" battery charger [this year]. We will definitely be seeing more event-specific guidance with power circuit limitations, however.
OP, the batteries can last for years, so I don't recommend the one-year limitation on inventory. We are currently using batteries that range from 1-5 years old. It is important to not fully discharge the batteries and keep them charged throughout the year to extend life.
For in-competition and general use, we use a
Battery Beak to check the charge state. We also want to pick up the West Mountain Radio tester.
