$10 Battery Daddy - Test & Organize up to 150 batteries in one small enclosure

The Battery Daddy is a way to test, store and organize up to 150 batteries. It works with AA, AAA, C, D, 9V and button cell batteries. It also includes a battery tester that can test battery health. No more guessing if a battery is good or bad. Let the Battery Daddy's tester do it for you. I received this item as a Christmas present last year, but I see they're currently on sale for $10 (link below.) I don't think I would have considered the item as a purchase, and that's my loss...it works quite well and clears up the area where I used to store batteries in cardboard boxes. In researching the item I see that there are multiple sizes available. Sized in capacity of 150/180/250 batteries. Mine is the 150 battery, but the 180 battery model is currently on sale for $10

Why don't you try rechargeable batteries instead?

[@3Dsjk]

Agreed. 200+ is a lot, but if you buy in bulk, over the life of the rechargeable batteries I think you will come out ahead. Next Christmas try some rechargeables in some of the decorations and see how they compare.

[@RocketboyX]

@@3DsjkI've used rechargable in christmas decorations before, they are awful. Don't last long, and it seems to kill them quickly.

[@kev-reviews]

Yep. They’re not made for high cycle use. It would be a constant battle to keep them going, so I chose Alkaline

[@tarstarkusz]

The type of battery tester in this box are usually completely useless. It doesn't put a load on the battery. You can buy a low ohm resistor (25ohm or 50ohm) and put it across the tester while testing a battery. Or you can buy a DMM in harbor Freight for about 8 Dollars that has a built in battery tester with a load. The problem is even dead batteries can have a decent open circuit voltage.

Ive had a similar battery storage container for 2 years. Mine is a soft case with a tester also. Got so tired of going thru junk drawers looking for batteries. Not real sure how accurately the tester is, but its better than nothing, hated to go thru the trouble of finding the batteries, then installing them only to finally figure out they we're dead... GREAT video as usual Kev...

Id love to see all them decorations that require 300 battery to power them all

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

Like hot dogs and buns. You never make the numbers match. I second the suggestion from @bowie2004, about rechargeables.

[@kev-reviews]

Rechargeables would be a nightmare with my decorations

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

@@kev-reviews Why? Is it charging time or do the decorations have moving mechanical parts that drain the batteries too quickly. Rechargeables have improved quite a bit. Not ideal for mechanical stuff (they work fine but discharge quickly). They do work well in electronics.

[@kev-reviews]

@michaelsprinzeles4022 the first hurdle is price. My Christmas sidewalk lights take 30 batteries. And that’s just the sidewalk lights. Then there’s the fact that I’ve never seen a rechargeable AA that could output the same consistent power for as long and an alkaline. Then there’s having the time (and chargers - and space) to recharge the volume of batteries I need for all the decorations. Not to mention the degraded performance vs alkaline when exposed to the low temps seen in December. It’s just not a viable option for me.

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

@@kev-reviews I can't see price being a factor, because you can keep the rechargeables long enough to end up cheaper. Other than that I concede all your points. I use them for flashlights, bike lights, radios and remotes so the longevity of a single charge vs alkaline isn't an issue but I don't use those things for as long or in extreme cold (except the bike lights but they're lights in addition to one connected to my e-bike battery).

[@kev-reviews]

@michaelsprinzeles4022 I can assure you the price vs alkaline is considerably higher given having to have chargers, etc. Plus, all but a handful would be sitting unused for 11-months. They would degrade on that time to be even less effective the next year. Rechargeables have their place, but for me Christmas decorations isn’t it.
