Organizing my batteries!

[Lasonic TRC-920]

For the most part, since collecting, I have used rechargeable batteries. One set of 10 D-Cells. But since I have the charger, I started collecting other sizes. AA's, AAA's. With flashlights, remote controls and what not, I now have rechargeable batteries for all those things.

I have had a pile of dead Duracell's that I have been meaning to test and dispose of properly, but that takes time. So, they have just been piling up.

Mixed in were some semi working batteries that won't work in a radio, but kind of work in a flashlight. Then there were some left overs that were "Good" but not new.

THEN, I have two sets of Duracell's I bought to go camping back in July. They are stall almost brand new!

Just rows of batteries...

Tonight I found this cool battery organizer with built in tester. It was actually in the kitchen cabinet, mounted to the inside of the door in the house we rent.

So I took it out and mounted on the wall in the Boom Room.

I went through every battery. Found the Dead DEAD ones....Marked them accordingly.

Located 4 Near Dead batteries, put them in my Mag Light...They Work! Sort of....but good enough. Might as well use up what ever power is left.

Best of all, I now have 3 full sets of 10.

30 batteries, that are GOOD!

Plus I now have all my rechargeables tidied up in a rack!

These aren't very good batteries and they are $11 for 2. Member Miles =ml= has the real hook up on REAL batteries and they are cheaper.

I have a 4 battery charger that will charge D's, C's, AA's and AAA's.

All in all, they have saved me a fortune on batteries!

Lovin' the look of that GF-9090...

Gotta' pull out my baby one of these days for a tune-up.

The battery rack is a real cool invention!

Had the 9090 out in the garage last weekend while working on the car
Still sounding great!

I don't know who makes it, but it's better than the glass dish I had full of batteries that I kept knocking over pissing me off

Chis, lets us see your D cells charger...

Cheers.

Here you go, nothing special, bought it about 15 years ago from radio shack...even before I got these D Cells. It needs a cleaning.

What is the purpose of marking the DEAD ones? Wouldn't it been easier to throw them in the trash instead of taking time to mark on them..?

I have been displaying them in front of the J1 "20 D Batteries Mother F$%^%, Count'em again". Everyone that walks in thinks that radio takes 20 D's when they see it.

Mostly, I need to recycle them properly, but I didn't have a place near me that will take them, so I'm just holding onto them till I make the trip.

for thems that choose to NOT recycle -

watch a movie called "serial mom "

I've got the same battery organizer!

It's typically filled with every battery type but D; those are in the boxes or charger.

Here are the batteries and chargers I use:

Batteries: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0040IAZ0S/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_xAhgsb1MFMTHF
Primary Charger: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002FKNPBY/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_cChgsb17S66KN
Reboot Charger: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019273U8/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_-Chgsb0JSW4M6

BTW, if you don't recycle the 20 Ds before the next meet, I can recycle them for you.

Go!

Remember Battery Maker?
That guy was such maniac.
I miss his crazy experiments.


Top work, Chris! Preparation is always key.



Rock On.

I was hoping you would jump in on this one Miles....Right on man....will do. Last time I brought in a box full of batteries to Home Depot the guy at the door almost passed out. He said "Companies can not bring in their batteries..." I said "These are from personal use". The look on his face was priceless. There was easily 40 lbs. But some were those big square flashlight batteries.

for thems that choose to NOT recycle -

watch a movie called "serial mom "

Never saw it, but just went to www.IMDB.com and read about it....I may have to check that out!

I think that was before my time on here.

Hey Bro, if the Zombie Apocalypse goes down and I have to load some blasters fast, I can't be testing batteries like a dope. I got to load and run! h34r: :dog:
