I believe in having backups of backups so I have four AW IMR 2200MAH 18650s and four Sony VTC4s. Both quads have their own charger.
Is this excessive?

It's only excessive if you run out of outlets or your wife tells you to get all the dang chargers off the end table.
I've got 3 mods... The Chana mod gets its own dedicated 18650, the rest are used for mechs: 10 batteries = 7 18650 (2 vtc5, 5 lg he2), 3 18350 aw imrs... Just two chargers though.. A nitecore i4 an tiny 2bay xtar charger for travel... I just put discharged batteries in the charger as I use them, then plug it in when its full

Not excessive at all. Heck, I've currently got 4 AWs, 6 Panasonics and 6 Samsungs in rotation . . . and that doesn't even count the other three sizes of battery I use 
Yeah this is pretty true, I've got nearly two dozen 18650's so I really can't judge anyone lol.Not sure we here at ECF can give you an unbiased answer to that question.
I wouldn't know anything about that...
Nor would I know anything about the four 25Rs which are currently in transit. I may have a battery hoarding problem.
If one charger fails it could take 4 batteries with it. Better get another charger and 4 more batteries.......
I have 6 VTC5s, 4 25R, and 2 purple Efest that are currently still working. And I am thinking about picking up at least two more 25R, since I need a matched lot for a dual 18650 box that I am looking at.
I've rotated 8 18650's forever and they all still perform well. Rotation slows down the number of recharge cycles each gets and makes them all last longer. Use the same two batteries over and over and they die much faster.
I wonder how long my iStick is going to last. Its wired in 18650 gets plugged in once or twice a day for short periods to get topped off. When the battery dies, the device gets tossed. That's a negative, IMO. You have to practically destroy the device to solder in a new one.
The good part of that is that it's a fairly cheap throwaway mod that vapes really well and fits in a pocket.

Actually, Taking an iStick apart is Relatively Simple. It just has to be done in the Correct Order.
1 - Remove the Two Taped on Plexiglass Strips around the Buttons.
2 - Turn the Unit over and the Buttons will Fall Out.
3 - Remove the Two Screws from the Top Cover.
4 - Remove the Two Screws from the Bottom Cover and the Bottom Cover.
5 - Push the Board and the Battery out the Top of the iStick Body.
Done.
Just don't make the Mistake I made. And start Poking things with a Dental Pick. Because since the Board is Hard-Wired to the Battery. The Board is "Live". And poking it with a Metal Dental Pick can release the Magic Smoke in the Board.
ive got 8 vtc4's, 2 efest purple 2100mah's, 2 aw 15c 18350's, 2 aw 15c 18490's. So no, no i dont believe thats excessive. I do only have 1 charger tho.
and regulated mods run on magic smoke. once it's released, your reserves are gone and there's no way to collect more.
You let the magic smoke out?!?!
FYI, seeing that reference on here was a hot chocolate & blankey for my soul.
