I'm looking at all the crap that I have that uses a battery and am getting buried. I must have 7-8 things that use a battery so I'm going to make a shelf that has the batteries and the chargers in compartments with the name of the tool they go too.
It's getting out of hand and I just cannot keep them scattered anymore. It wasn't so bad when I had just a few but it seems everything today has a charger and a battery.
Anyone else have a ton of these things around?

Um thanks for that pic Big Mark.
I get annoyed at my camping gear bateries. I keep those items together and my remote batteries for remote and xbox together. I should get a charger for those items but just haven't got a round to it yet!
Some of those flashlights for camping take a shit ton of batteries. And the batteries for the headlamps are annoying as fuck because most of them are all one size, but then I have that wierd random one that isn't.

Everything we have can be charged via USB port, hubs bought a gadget that can charge 10 USB 's at once. Haven't had a problem since.

Each battery is different and connects to a different charger. I just need to compartmentalize my chargers. Sure you can plug them all in but how do you tell the difference between the batteries and the thing they go to? I know what I have to do but was wondering how other people do it.
Explain your usb thing you do do do. How do you charge the hedge trimmer or the pole saw or the drills or the wet dry vac or any of that stuff.

I use a label printer. Printout some description i.e. “Black Sony camera“ and peel the back off it, wrap it round the cord and double it back into itself. Label the wall socket box too if it’s separate from the cord. They all go in a plastic tub in The office for office stuff or workshop for workshop stuff. I even bought an extra labeller and put it in the workshop so I didn’t have to remember to take it from one to the other

Yeah sticking them into the same pile with labels is an option. I would label the chargers. That's probably the best way thanks!
