The robopromo one looks really nice, but at one time our team had batteries in a vertical tower and we got the 'sad face' from the safety people because they said batteries need to be close to the floor.

Since then, we've designed a multifunction tool-box cart (and it's even motorized) that has the battery chargers built in.

It's been a great efficiency booster and I'd recommend that sort of thing. Hard to find room for a dedicated battery box in our crowded pit.
