How do you store your batteries on your desk?

next q is how do you mark ure married pairs
i use battery case holders the cheap r50 ones and my wife nail polish to drow a line or two
I have for stickers till mark pairs until I her round to giving them a new wrap.
 
So you need to buy a few more Mods so you dont have so many spares.
Please dont tell your wife i was the one that gave you this advice :-D
I'm actually trying to scale down as I have too many unused mods.
 
Just designed this while talking with @Alex on the phone

Will print it tomorrow after printing the Coily jig :)

Haven't printed this yet as I'm still busy with the coil thingies. This big guy will be an almost 9 hour print, so might not do it today.
 
@Dela Rey Steyn, I wanted to be able to use my current box even though it is a fire hazard and I wanted to protect my cells from dust or spills etc and also be able to move them or pack away if I need to.

So I decided to prototype out of cardboard before I move to perspex.

Currently I can store 104 batteries but I prefer to have some gaps to enable me to rotate batteries and to have a logical system where batts goes in after charging and remain there until all the others have been discharged first etc.


I used cardboard I found in my wife’s office.

I can’t seem to upload a video but it passes the shake like crazy test and no cells fall over and they are rather snug.

I’m happy with this for now and may even put off the Perspex for longer!

I have upgraded from my little plastic boxes and have made these and works wonderful.
I can now have up to 18 batts in one spot instead of multiple little cases i used to have.
