Batteries - Rubber band the charged ones
by
David Allen
Another in the category of dumb-dorky-things-to-do-that-work:
I've been slightly bugged for years in places like hotel rooms, looking the next morning at my unpacked stuff, wondering which batteries I had run down and which ones were stilled charged. I finally found a solution that works for me:
If you travel with extra batteries for phones or computers, put a rubber band around the ones that are charged. When they are depleted, they don't have one.
If they don't have a rubber band, they're dry. If they do, they're charged.
(Extra tip: You need to make sure that you have and use a little pocket somewhere in your travel gear to hold the rubber bands when you take them off when you install the charged batteries.)
