Batteries: What is your inventory?

[alfreddajero]

Those are my CR123's.....and right next to that are my cr2's.......did you check out the link that i posted. If you want the AA's to stand up i know that some of my buddies in the rc world are using plastic ammo cases where the shells are in its own hole. Looking for that link now.

 

[alfreddajero]

Try this.....dont know the exact ones that there using......but if you want the cells to have there own space then this is for ya. I sent them an email on this one http://jandjproducts.com/proddetail.php?prod=LR-100 so hopefully they get back to me.

Yeah that might work. I did find a deeper version of the one you have but it is online. Might be too deep though at 3 1/4" and a AA cell is 2"

 

[alfreddajero]

You can always cut some thin foam out and lay it on the bottom.

Here's what I currently have...

46 Duracell CR123a
10 Surefire CR123a
12 Energizer E2 L91 AA
6 Energizer E2 L92 AAA x6

72 Duracell Alkaline AA
48 Duracell Alkaline AAA
12 Duracell Alkaline C
13 Duracell Alkaline D

32 Eneloop AA
20 Eneloop AAA

3 AW 14500 Protected
6 AW RCR123 Protected
2 AW 17500 Protected
2 AW 17670 Protected
6 AW 18650 Protected
3 AW LiFePO4 RCR123
2 Tenergy RCR123 3.0v

I still need to purchase more Duracell CR123's, Energizer L91's, & Duracell D alkalines for the emergency stash.

Good idea. I'll have to check for a place to find some foam. Might be cheaper just to buy the ammo cases.

 

[alfreddajero]

Well i sent them a couple of emails regarding there cases, so hopefully they get back to me soon......and i will post what they say here. I think that this would be the best way for me to keep all my AA's.

Found this on Cabelas. 50 round ammo case for $1.99. Problem is I don't know the approx. height of different ammo so not sure which box I'd need.

Here's what it looks like:

Here's the link:

Anyone that's familiar with the size of different ammo, can you give me an idea of what is approx AA size and what is AAA size. I will need two different boxes. Thanks.

Aa is 14mm wide 50mm long and aaa is 10mm wide and 44mm long. Btw show us ur cells silverfox...

 

[NigelBond]

~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.

Wow man that is a lot of batteries. How many cells are you consuming in a day to warrant such an inventory? Are you running a flux capacitor off alkaline battires?

Yeah I know the size of AA and AAA cells. I need to know what different ammo sizes as they sell the boxes for .38 rounds, .44 rounds, .357 rounds etc.

 

[alfreddajero]

BOL, that is nice and cheaper then the one that i linked too......did you send them an email asking about it.

Yes I did, hopefully they will respond quickly. Even if they have basic dimensions of the box I should be able to figure out which size to get for what cell.

 

[alfreddajero]

Cool please post what they say, as i am interested.

Hello and thanks for contacting Cabela's Product Information Department Kevin.
Regarding the Cabela's Plastic 50-Round Ammo Boxes Item:XJ-216326 I would recommend the .222/.223 option for AAA and .270/.30-06 option for AA batteries.

I don't know if she gave the closest size box though I looked up the size of a .270 Winchester and it is 3.34 inches. AA batteries are right around 2" including the button top.

Last thing I'd want is the batteries to have an inch gap from the top of the cover when the case is closed.

 

[alfreddajero]

An inch from the top would suffice.......i still havent heard from the other people......might just give them a call.

 

[alfreddajero]

Just got off the phone with them and this is what they linked me too........i was hoping for more storage.

You're better off with the 50 round or 100 round cases I linked to. And I looked up on Wiki and the diameter of the shells are pretty spot on with the diameter of the AA and AAAs. One of the sizes (.222/.223) is backordered. Says 0-1 week. I will check back periodically, as I want to order all at once, and it restricts the backordered items at checkout as they require a 7 minimum quantity and I wasn't going to order that many.

 

[alfreddajero]

Can you post a link to the exact case.....i dont like searching for it if i can help it. Thanks man.

 

[Beacon of Light]

It's the link from post #88

You have to select the drop down menu for .222/.223 (AAA size) and .270/.30-6 (AA size)
