Stored batteries!! Don’t do what I did!!!

[JDUB]

Best $20.00 I’ve spent in a long time. We’ve had one over a year. Works great, no fuss, pretty sturdy. All the batteries stored in one place and easy to find.
Edit: has a battery tester as well

All it takes is ONE 9v battery to start a fire. They can short against anything metal.

Buy one of these. A $20 investment could save your life.

I thought of this immediately. I’ve seen it before. And now I need one hahaha!

Surprised 9v aren't sold with ultra cheap plastic toppers.

There are a few brands, DeWalt for one, that do this.

I was hesitant at first. It looks like something cheap that would break easily. But after I got it I can't live without it.
BTW, The entire back side is for AA storage.

I keep 9v batteries in separate containers. I have a sign in my reloading room that reads "NO 9 VOLT BATTERIES" because I keep steel wool in that room.

Had the same concern. Love it now!

I was one of the first hunting safety instructors. One of our standard demonstrations was to take a couple of D cell batteries, and some OOOO steel wool, and show how you can start a fire by putting the steel wool between the terminals. Doesn't take but a second.

Reminds me a couple days ago was on the mule with wife and we road over to my daughters across rd. I had a 6 v from my deer feeder in one of the cup holders. Wife had some stuff in cardboard box and sat it on what would be dash if it was a car , well it slidover and we didn’t notice till the bottom of the box caught fire. It had pushed the spring ends together and shorted. Really good reminder, thx for sharing

I used to buy 9V in bulk cases for wireless mics, guitar pickups, and test equipment; they came with little plastic tops. Some even had an extra little plastic piece that flexed and turned white when removed (useful to prove it was a "new" battery for a rider).

Need to stick the 9v batteries on your tongue and see if they have any juice left in them.

I can taste it now....just by you mentioning it!
