You want N batteries, and N-1 6 amp chargers. N=2 is not sufficient if
you are climbing your way through the finals. N=4 probably is. Having
batteries in the pit that are not on a charger is a somewhat bankrupt
strategy. I went shopping for a nice charger this year and found one
with 5 independent 6 amp outputs:
