Organize Your Batteries for Fun and Profit!

Elon Musk will be so proud of you.

Step 1: Take All the Batteries and Chargers and Stuff You Have That Is Cordless and Put It in a Pile

Step 2: Look Around Your Shop for a Place for Your Pile to Have a Home.

Step 3: Attempt to Force Push Your Pile Into the New Spot.

Did it work? Great! You are a Jedi. Close this window and go fight the dark side or something along those lines.

Did it not work? Of course it didn't you knob, you aren't a Jedi. Keep reading you commoner.

Step 4: Organize Your Chargers and Batteries Into Something That Makes Sense.

Stuff that can be taped, stuff that needs a shelf, stuff that needs to be inserted (ask your wife), the usual.

Step 5: Now Pretend to Be a Woodworker and Make a Box

But not just any box. Make a half-assed box. A box with only 3 sides. Sweet right? FINALLY you can not complete something and feel good about it.

Step 6: Test Fit Your Half-assed Box You Lazy Mess.

Does it fit? Good. Cut some holes in it for the power strip plugs and mount it with some screws. Your application will vary, but in my case, I screwed it to the window sill

Step 7: Now Bask in Your Mediocrity.

If you built this, you probably shouldn't brag about it, I know I'm not.

Step 8: Bust Out the Super Sticky Double Sided Foam Tape and Start Slapping Your Chargers and Batteries to the New Wall.

Use the nice 3m stuff. Cheap foam tape won't stick for long and will just fall down in a few hours. Some stuff you can use screws but personally, I find it to be a big hassle to line it all up.

Step 9: Done. Don't You Feel a Nice Sense of Accomplishment Now?

In my case, I left some room for future chargers and enormous ̶s̶e̶x̶ ̶t̶o̶y̶s̶ new tools. Don't crowd yourself, you will kick yourself someday.

On a related side-note, I love my Dewalt cordless tools but the batteries kicked the bucket years ago and buying new ones was unreasonably expensive. I was able to bring my old school tools back to life by using cheap Chinese knock off batteries for 1/3 of the cost of the brand name stuff. If you are in the same boat I was, this might be an option for ya.
