Default How many batteries do you bring & use at race meet?

I currently brings 2 shorty batteries to race meet... one can be run, while other one is being charged. then when my heat is finished, i swap the batteries over.

What about you? Do you run 1 or 2 batteries during the meets?

Two; same routine as yours. Use one, charge one. Works on club nights with little time between heats as well as Nationals. HTH

I travel to meets by motorcycle so rely on 3 batteries. First battery does 5mins or so of practice then the first heat, then the other 2 batteries last for heat 2,3,4 & the final so basically two heats per battery. Just so happens that they're usually down to the 'perfect' storage charge of 3.8v per cell after two runs too
