These days you probably buy lots of batteries ranging from
small AAA batteries to fat D size batteries. You need them for flashlights, toys
and more. And you want to have spare batteries on hand, particularly for
emergency items like portable lamps, flashlights and radios.
But the problem is that once you open the pack (sometimes a
bulky pack when buying in bulk is cheaper), if you don't open it exactly as the
directions say, the new batteries you're not using tend to eventually roll out
or fall out into the kitchen drawer or wherever you keep them. Then they get
lost, maybe even accidentally thrown out or just roll around in the drawer. And
even if you open and refasten the package of batteries correctly, several of
these packages can be awkward to stack together neatly.
The solution is to keep all
of your spare batteries in one contained spot (so they don't
roll around too) and know where that spot
is.
♦Lillian Vernon
used to sell a
Battery rack
that holds 40 batteries (pictured below) that you could hang on the inside of
a closet door. You can look there to see what they're carrying now in stock. Batteries should be handy so you might hang this battery rack on the inside of a
foyer or hall closet, maybe even the inside door of a walk-in pantry. If you
don't want the rack to get banged around a lot, hang it on a wall inside the
closet. Hang the battery rack at about chest level so everyone can reach it.
This battery rack also has a built-in LED tester. We own a similar model from a
different catalogue retailer whose name I can't recall right now, and we keep
them stacked in a drawer. The little battery tester at the top comes in handy
too.
♦Stacks and Stacks sells a
Battery Case and Tester
 if
you'd prefer to keep store your batteries out of site or keep them portable to
carry around the home or elsewhere. It holds 40 batteries.
