Staying organized with rechargeable batteries

We’re using more and more rechargeable batteries, now that they don’t have “memory” issues (remember when you had to completely discharge them before recharging?), have faster charge times, and last longer.

Problem is, we have all these batteries floating around and different people charging them. How to know which needs charging?

One trick is to get a container with two compartments (or two containers, though they get easily separated and misplaced that way), and mark one for “dead” and the other for “fully charged”.

Another trick I’ve heard of is to wrap rubber bands around the fully charged batteries.

Now the trick is to get everyone to follow the rule :-)
