That sounds right. We have 10 batteries, and 5 chargers...it works out OK. We were able to loan a few batteries to the rookie team we mentor at our last regional.
We have got satisfactory battery life charging at 6 amps. The main reason we charge at that rate, is having a bunch of older 6A chargers that used to come in the KOP. Most of our batteries are from 2011. We made it thru Finals at the AZ regional with no issues. Although our robot this year is not particularly power hungry, with only 4 drive motors, one RS550, and the compressor.
