USA gadget for storing batteries

Options
If you're planning a trip to the USA, this post might be useful.

Do you have a cluttered kitchen drawer or cupboard with loose batteries of every shape and size?

When I was in the USA recently, I bought a battery storage tray from a Bed, Bath & Beyond store.

The tray can be fixed onto a wall or mounted inside a cupboard or laid down in a drawer. It has different sized partitions to store all your batteries securely and it has a battery tester incorporated.

The battery tester has coloured lights to indicate the battery life/strength and will accommodate/test all sizes of domestic batteries.

I paid around £10 for it.

    Sounds useful. Any idea if you can get them in the UK?
  • This sounds exactly the same as the one I bought from Lakeland Ltd about five years ago. It is excellant. Very easy to see when you are getting low on a certain size, which is good with Christmas coming up?

    Can also be used for your rechargables.

    I don't think Lakeland stock it any more, but I have seen it for sale recently. I can't remember where though. Was either in one of those catalogues that come with magazines and the weekend newspapers or in a Christmas catalogue. Was definately in the last month, because I thought about buying one for my Mum.

    The battery storage item shown on Tricky's link is much smaller than the one I bought.
