Review on 2 Pack of Storacell SLAACC Slimline Clear AA Battery Caddy - Holds 4 AA Batteries by William Lara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great solution to a common problem

If you've ever had to deal with loose AA batteries and wondered if the ones in your desk drawer or camera bag would do, then this rechargeable The Powerpax Slim Line "AA" Storacell is an excellent solution to a common problem. I frequently use rechargeable AA NiMH batteries for photographic, electronic, and household purposes, and most manufacturers advise you to use and charge them in "appropriate" packaging. This Powerpax Battery Caddy helps with that organization. Once charged, it dispenses AA batteries individually, so you don't have to fiddle around to charge flashes or other devices, and it only takes a few seconds to realize that it can all be done with one hand. I've charged it with my eneloop AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, RevainBasics AA NiMH rechargeable batteries and standard AA alkaline batteries and they all fit perfectly. Storacell's unique design allows me to insert fresh items positive side down and used items positive side up so they don't mix up. Powerpax's design is fairly reliable, simple and very functional. The design is quite ingenious as the cells can be removed individually and with one hand. The material looks like a durable polymer. If you turn the battery upside down, you will see that it is an American product. The search for a better battery storage solution began with an incident in winter when it was snowing. on earth. It was cold and windy and I was trying to get new AA batteries out of a device very similar in design to one of the clamshell battery cases found here. I shivered and dropped the box, causing all the batteries to be scattered on the snow, causing a dozen white Eneloop nickel-metal hydride cells to fall into the snow. I lost two batteries in the snow and the one I found was swapped, fresh cells with dead ones. Some time was wasted drying the cells I could find and even more time wasted testing them to see which were loaded and which were empty. After that, I realized that there must be a better solution, and that is what is needed. The purchase of this Powerpax Slim Line "AA" Storacell Battery Case was actually the result of finding a larger 12 cell Powerpax "AA" Storacell Battery Case and trying it as a regular AA battery storage solution. Do a search here at Revain and you'll find they come in multiple colors to suit your needs, as well as the most popular battery sizes. This is a highly recommended 5 star solution for anyone looking for a place to store those loose batteries we all have.

Pros
  • Remove batteries with one hand for safety and convenience
