Storage for Rechargeable Batteries

thingiverse

I have a large collection of rechargeable batteries with varying capacities. To organize them efficiently, I needed a storage solution that could accommodate several specific requirements. The ideal case would allow me to separate batteries that are no longer fully charged from those that still hold their full power. It should also enable easy sorting and categorization of similar batteries with different capacity ratings. I designed a custom storage container that fits AA, AAA, and 18650 battery types, as well as any other cylindrical-shaped batteries. This case consists of two components: the main body and an additional piece that prevents other batteries from escaping when removing the bottom one. To use this storage system, simply arrange your batteries in order from weakest to strongest (or vice versa) from right to left. When you need a battery, simply lift it out from the bottom with one or two fingers; the others will naturally fall into their designated slots. This design is fully customizable through its scad file: users can specify their preferred battery size, number of columns, and number of batteries per column to create a tailored storage solution that meets their unique needs.
