Count your blessings.
One of my pet peeves concerns the number of batteries in a lot of
portable devices. A lot of them take **three** batteries. All the
chargers I've seen take either two or four batteries at a time. That's
how they're sold, too.

How does someone go about easily charging that odd battery out? If it's
done right, you'd need at least four batteries and rotate regularly
through the things to make sure they all get used evenly. That means
marking each one individually.

For the camera I use there are four batteries. I have two sets of them.
Each set is marked as a group..aaaa and bbbb. No confusion or mixing.
