Batteries: What is your inventory?

[MattK]

Can I play?

[PetaBread]

I got 15 CR123's in a Pelican Micro case with foam cut-out.

I'd post a picture, but I dont have a camera.

EDIT: And dont let my avatar fool you. Lol.

[ackbar]

Can I play?

sure.. personal inventory only.. otherwise it is cheating ;D

[MattK]

Awwwwww

Okay:

NimH: (active/in use - not counting old/waiting for recycling/unused)
AA 30
AAA 18
D 12

Alakaline: (Duracell procell usually - handy packaging)
AA 100
AAA 60
C 24
D 24
9V 24

CR123a 20
9V Primary Lithium 2 (use for hard to reach CO2/Smoke detectors)

18650 2
16340 4
14500 2

Misc coin cells for car remotes.

I use a few battery storage racks that we carry. The alkalines I keep in the procell boxes.

[ackbar]

Awwwwww

Ok ok.. stop pouting..

Wow us with your retail inventory. I'm kinda curious myself. If you have anything less than 10k individual cells then you must give up your store name :P

[MattK]

LOL @ 10K.

I wish pics would tell the story but a box of batteries just looks like a box....

Just guesstimating:
Alkaline (Duracell, Energizer, Panasonic)
AA 200k
AAA 75K
C 15K
D 25K
9V 75K

Primary Lithium
CR123A 400K
CR2 15-20K
L91/L92 40K
9V 8K
LiSo2 25K+ most AA, 1/2 AA


Button and coin er 500-10K of every size silver oxide, lithium, alkaline, zinc-air. Probably 300K units in total. I'm too lazy to figure out the real #.

NiMh
AA 120K
AA 50K
C 10K
D 20K
9V 10K
SubC NiMh 15K
Misc oddball sizes (F, 4/5, 2/3 A etc) 5K

NiCd
AA 25K
AAA 5K
SC 20K
C 5-10K
D 10K+

li-ion
18650 6-8K
14500 2-3k
10440 -1-2K
17500/17670/8350/etc, etc etc another 2-3K total.

SLA: 2-3K (asst small sizes)

There's also lots of oddball stuff I can't begin to add in...

Misc assortment of button and smaller cells for the car fobs and like. Pretty much buy as needed.

[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.

[NotSoBrightBob]

Eagleout.

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

[Eagleout]

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.

[M@elstrom]

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


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

[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.

I end up giving a lot of cells away to friends, but I figure it's nice to have a few extras on hand...

[Northern Lights]

As for storage, I use these (older pic) plus some CR123 and AA/AAA cases:

[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.

[ackbar]

That's a nice case Blackrose. Is it a dedicated battery case or is it a parts toolcase one could buy at a hardware store?

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.
