Anyone pack along an extra, second battery? What about a "reserve tank"?

My wife and I both have Rover 5's. She never goes on rides more than 15 miles. I often go on rides of 35 - 40 miles, so I take her battery with me when I do that. I usually ride on pedal assist level 2 and get right around 25 miles on a battery. I'm planning two longer trips in the next couple of months - Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail (106 miles) and the Kay Trail (240 miles). I plan on riding about 60 miles per day on those. So, I bit the bullet and ordered another battery. I'll actually have 3 batteries with me on these trips. I thought about putting on an aftermarket battery setup, but it was easier just to get the Rad battery and be able to swap it in and use it on either bike. Definitely not the cheapest option though. I also got this bag to carry the extra battery in. It holds the battery and has some extra room for other stuff. I strap it down in my front basket using its built in straps. I need to order a second one for the 3rd battery, or a bigger one that will hold two.
