Safe Battery Storage?
#1
I inherited some nice battery packs. I've been using the standard packs where the ends of the batteries are covered. These packs are the built-up kind with the ends exposed.
Does someone make a good box to put them in so that they can't short each other out? I'm going to try to make some dividers in a old cigar box for now. But, I've got to imagine I'm reinventing the wheel here.
Please give me your suggestions.
Thanks,
Scott

I made one for about $7. I picked up an aluminum carrying case from Harbor Freight Tools for $7.99. Then I went over to an automotive upholtry shop and asked them if they had any scrap foam and scored a nice square block. I cut out some slots for my packs and presto, battery case!

Funny you should mention the Novak Smart Tray! I bought (4) matched packs and a Novak Smart Tray and a Venom alignment jig for $50! And, they are from a friend, so I know the batteries are good. He switched to Lipo. That created a bargain for me! I worked on all four packs last night and they are all happy. Sweet.
