Since FRC requires a specific battery, your chances of finding a store that carries them are slim. I'm not sure how feasible it is, but the store may be willing to donate the amount required to purchase the correct batteries from the manufacturer.
Worst-case scenario, you don't have an adequate amount of batteries by your first competition. Befriend local veteran teams, who probably have multiple extra batteries, and see if you can borrow one or two for the duration of the competition. Even if you can only borrow one from a team, if you are borrowing from three different teams...bam, you have three more batteries.
Keep in mind that you also will need to have a battery or two on-hand at competitions for testing parts of the robot in the pit. Every bit of battery life counts
