Re: batteries and chargers
The only way to (safely) charge multiple batters on the same charger is to use a special charger that is intended for that purpose. Normal chargers don't supply enough power to charge more than 1 battery at a time, and the wiring to split the current could also get a little tricky.
Charging battery's too fast is REALLY bad for the battery, it causes some of the cells inside it to short. That's why these super-heavy-duty chargers are hard to come across, and I won't recommend using them.
Best thing to do, in my mind, is use multiple chargers, 1 to charge each battery. On my team, we have about 12 competition batteries, and 12 chargers. This works, but it is expensive to buy 12 chargers. Also, with rumors of FIRST getting new batteries this year, it might be best to wait and see what batteries they get.
