Simple tip for knowing which batteries are charged

Simple and effective!

I’m not near as organized as you are. Mine get turned on the shelf. I just put a small piece of blue tape on them when I take them off the charger. I pull the tape off when I put them into the tool.

I have 6 or 7 batteries and I’ve tried laying them on one side or the other, then I forget which side up is charged. So I tried turning them label in or label out, but again I forgot which is which. Somehow I never thought to simply write on each battery! I like this idea and fully plan on stealing it from you.

At my house, if they are lying on their side, they are dead. Upright is charged.

Do you also date them so you will know how many days they have been sitting there discharging themselves?

Nope – I have a couple of extras and I just swap them out first thing each day I’m in the shop.
