There's not much worse than that sinking feeling you get when you flick on the flashlight in an emergency and discover the batteries are dead. So there you are, rooting through the kitchen drawers, hoping to stumble on a set of working, charged batteries ... in the pitch dark.
Or maybe you've clicked the camera during a special out-of-town moment, only to find that someone borrowed your AA's to power the TV remote control ... that's now 200 miles away!
There's a wide assortment of battery racks available, popularized by the huge increase in battery consumption that accompanies the introductions of new electronic gadgets and gizmos. Here are a few of the most popular!
For Home or Away
One popular battery case is perfect for home or away. More than a foot long and eight inches wide when opened, this perfect travel companion comes with a built-in carry-handle.
And don't worry about storing it when you're at home. It's got a wall-mount feature that lets you put it up in the garage, the workroom or even a closet: There when you really need it ... unobtrusive when you don't!
Use the case's handy, built-in battery tester to sort the good batteries from the old ones. Thanks to the sturdy carrier, that's a task you can accomplish sitting down in your favorite chair or even in the car en route to that family reunion!
You'll always be ready for whatever battery-powered event awaits you, too. This case has room for 40 batteries of all the typical sizes: AA, AAA, C, D and 9-volt.
For Those Dark and Stormy Nights
Terrible weather can strike anywhere, and it usually gives very little advance warning. You'll need fresh batteries for the duration if you're ever forced into the basement or storm cellar in an emergency.
A battery rack and emergency center might be just what you're looking for! This handy item includes a flashlight and a tap light as well as storage for your keys and for 22 of the most commonly used types of batteries.
You'll use those batteries to power the pack's built-in digital clock, AM/FM Radio, digital clock and NOAA weather radio.
Glow-in-the-Dark Features
Sometimes the kitchen drawer seems as though it's the perfect incubator for the multiplication of small items ... batteries, bulbs and tiny fuses proliferate until you're tempted to just throw out the whole lot rather than mess around with the good, the bad and the what's-this-for?
For you, there's a battery rack that holds up to 53 batteries and includes a separate little closed container -- built-in -- for those extra flash bulbs and fuses.
Better yet, you'll love its glow-in-the-dark button that guides you to your power sources when traditional electric power fails! You can slip this little item into a drawer, or hang it on the wall.
So don't just groan this year when the time comes to clean out and de-clutter those messy kitchen drawers. Have a battery storage case at hand and you can be sure the power force ... er, source ... will be with you when you need it!
