Re: Between-Match Battery Swaps
Our Team 537 last year with only 5 batteries and using the latest for the competitions and the older ones for practice worked out fine.

A tip for charging the batteries is to attach a set of connectors to the end of the charger like the ones that are on the leads for the battery for a good connection.

This can be done by clamping the clips to the end of an extra set of leads and electrical taping it for safety or find the connectors and replace the clips with it.

Good Luck this year!
