I was looking for a battery the other day and our entire collection in a shoe box was gone and one of these was in the cupboard.

Why didn't I think of this!!!????

Genius.

Saw that product recently in a Christmas catalog from some obscure mail order catalog my wife gets. About the same price, too. Kind of a neat thing to have and I was tempted to get one cause I liked the idea of the battery tester. But I already have certain dedicated battery storage areas in the man cave and wondered if I should just get a battery tester and be done with it.

Nice clear top to see the little bastids leaking.
The last energizers I opened were leaking and the use by date was like 5 years away.

Have long had a simpler, smaller, trailer park grade of a battery organizer with tester and, to my chagrin, the catch is one be becomes slave to the organizer, so now i have the organizer screwed to the wall (by the breaker panel; logical, right?), but still have a shabby cardboard box of batteries nearby that feeds the organizer’s inventory, and i still don’t always have what i need. Modern problems.....

Much more fun to rummage around in an old box and guess if the wife put dead batteries in with the fresh ones. Guess I like to live on the edge.

Life is like a big box of batteries - you never know which one won't work...

Is it a good idea to have the button batteries loose like that shown in the photo - can't they short out under the right circumstances?

That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied.
