Quick Organising: Battery Storage

Today I am going to show you an easy way to organise your batteries...we use batteries frequently in our house, for our computer mouse, game controllers, remote controls, toys etc..and the majority of our batteries are rechargeable, but forgetting if we have recharge them its a major problem!

Before most of our batteries were kept in a shoe box (charge and to be charge) so that created a small problem, couldn't tell which batteries were already charge or not. So i created a better storage solution and i am really happy with the results.

I started with an empty plastic sewing box. This sewing box i already had and I was not really using it for its intended purpose, but thought it would be perfect for our batteries as it has compartments.

The top container has several compartments in which allowed me to organise charged batteries by size and type.

The bottom container can hold batteries to be charge and also new batteries (as shown on pic).

Its an easy and simple battery storage solution that its working great for us in our home. We keep it in our Office but you can keep it anywhere in the house, kitchen, lounge, pantry etc..

Happy Organising
