Managing Batteries

[maarten_smeenk]

Hi,

I was wondering how you guys manage your batteries. I've got three batteries for my dvx100, i will label them with numbers. But i need a solution to visually mark them as empty or charged!

I wish there was a "sticker" with a switch or something like that!

I have two small mesh bags - one for charged batteries, one for discharged. They have different drawstrings to tell them apart.

Once a battery is charged I put a piece of tape on it - any color, any type. When the battery is spent I pull the tape off - its simple and works everytime

There IS a little sliding switch either on the OEM batts or the DVXuser batts, I forget. You just have to remember which setting is for charged/discharged.
I put tape on the contacts of a discharged batt, just the opposite of smelni.

the reason I tape the charged batteries is that tape can fall off and I dont want to be tricked into thinking a battery is charges when it isnt - if tape falls off a cahrged battery i put it in the charger and see that it is charged
