Batteries: What is your inventory?

[Grox]

Nah, he's just afraid of the dark...

 

[MattK]

I'll try to take some pics soon. I warn you though, it mostly looks like pallets with brown boxes on top for the most part.

Eagleout.

Here is another post around the same subject. I got a couple of ideas from it.

NotSoBrightBob,

Thanks for the link. More great examples of what I should be buying now. I found a nifty case at Lowes the other day and started filling it with Duraloops and primaries. I can see where liths should be my main focus because of shelf life and running times, but cost will make them more slow going as far as inventory is concerned.

Thanks again-

Hey.. I have a very good imagination.. mmmmm... all those boxes.. full of all sorts of toys...

damn it! gotta stop droolin'

 

[KingGlamis]

Not going to count them all right now but I have plenty for all my lights and plenty of spares.

However... embarrassing tonight as my son asked me for a 9V battery. Sure, I say. Look in both my battery boxes, none. Hmmmm. I know I had 2 or 3 brand new ones, where did they go? I check my flashlight duffel bag, none. Check the trucks and garage, none. Hmmmmm. I normally keep all my batteries in the two battery boxes with some spares in the trucks. But my 9 volts disappeared into thin air. And I normally don't keep many 9 volts on hand because other than the kid's toys I only have one item, my multimeter, that uses a 9V battery.

Guess it's time to replenish the stash.

Rechargeable batteries just make good sense, I've had some floating around the house since I was a teenager (big into R/C) though NiCD was the technology of choice back then :nana:


I really don't feel like trawling through drawers, cupboards and various devices suffice to say... I have a rather large collection of NiMH & NiCD AA/AAAs as well as a spattering of NiCD C/D/square cells, an AW17670 Li-Ion & all associated wall, bay & direct-input chargers :thumbsup:

 

[MorePower]

~700 alkaline AA cells
~400 alkaline AAA cells
~300 alkaline C cells
~300 alkaline D cells
~10 alkaline 9V batteries

15 CR123A cells
8 CR2 cells

20-30 button and coin cells (357, 2025, 2032, etc)

~40 IC-3 NiMH AA cells
~20 IC-3 NiMH AAA cells
~20 Rayovac Hybrid NiMH AA cells
~10 Rayovac Hybrid NiMH AAA cells

Mostly primaries for me, but a fair number of NiMH sitting around as well.

[Beacon of Light]

I originally came to CPF for info on rechargeable AA/AAA batteries and made the mistake of venturing out of the battery sub-forum and discovered flashlights again....and then SAKs and knives

I think that is what happened to me years ago when I signed up. I came reading info in the Batteries subforum and discovered the flashlight LEDs section. Rest is history.

It is a parts organizer that you can get at most hardware stores.

I wanted to pick one up this week but the only ones that were suitable were missing the dividers

 

[alfreddajero]

You can also pick them up at wallyworld in there fishing and tackle department.

 

[Beacon of Light]

That's good to know. Putting it on my list. Now I have a real reason to go there besides checking for new Flashlights.
