Organize The Batteries

Do you have several packages of batteries floating around your home or office? Do you also have the mystery batteries that roll around in the junk drawer but your not quite sure they work? Heres a quick tip for organizing your batteries. Make a list of electronics that require batteries so you know what type you need. In our home AA batteries go to everything from toys, remote controls and video camera. It helps if we have extras and worthwhile for us to by multipack. The smoke detecter takes a 9 volts and you always want to make sure you have an extra to replace. We also have a few toys that take "C" batteries but rarely get used and usually end up with extras when purchasing. A great way to keep the batteries organized is with a battery organizer. Get rid of the packaging and store batteries in a case by size. A battery tester is also great to have and always keep near the extra batteries.
