You have more chargers than the rookies. With even a little bit of effort on your part to solving the problem you could make 2 batteries work just fine for a regional. If you buy just one extra battery you should be more than covered. They can be had for around $50.

I speak from experience by the way. 57 takes just 3 batteries anywhere we travel and we don't have any problems.

I interperet that to say that we can only use the 2 batteries provided in the kit. Opinions?
