This is a handy item that I wish I'd had a long time ago. It is made of durable plastic and has a built-in battery tester that will test every type of battery the set holds.

The battery tester can be a little clumsy to use and I think it could have been better implemented as a sort of 'vice' where you place the battery on its side and push the tester end up to the bottom of the battery. Instead, this has an L-shaped arm that lifts up and you have to carefully place the battery between the contact on the bottom of the device and the top of the arm. This because more frustrating when you're using C and D sized batteries.

It also has a compartment that pulls out and holds small watch batteries.

I also wish there were a better way to present the rack. You can either lay it flat or attach it to a wall. Laying it flat consumes a lot of space, but I can't attach this to a wall in my apartment or at my office, so there's no other choice. Perhaps if they could simply have widened the bottom so it could be a sort of "foot" that would allow the device to stand freely on its own.

That said, the price is not bad and if you have a lot of batteries in a drawer or box somewhere, this will make finding a set of batteries that aren't dead or half dead much easier.

Holds the most batteries of any organizer, and the only one with a removable tester. You can detach the tester and carry it around and dig in drawers and all the places you throw your batteries. My daughter had at least 40 AA and AAA batteries that were still good, that would have been thrown away if I didnt buy the rack and tester.

Bought this for Christmas 2007. Definitely a keeper for storing batteries. Hung it on a wall behind a bedroom door. No problems at all with batteries falling out. While some batteries may fit loosely, it is good becuase my rechargables are a tad fatter and do fit.

The battery gauge is really not all that good. Different size batteries really need a switch setting to allow for a different load resistor to be used for testing. And the 9 volt battery testing doesn't work on my unit. The battery storage capability deserves a 5 star rating, dropped to a 4 due to the battery tester. It isn't the prettist unit I've seen, but absolutely no complaints on looks due to storage capacity and price.

A definite keeper.

Overall, this is pretty good organizer. The small drawer designed for small batteries is almost useless. Some rechargeable AA batteries (different brands)do not fit easily into the slots. I am not sure if it is because the unit is still new or it is just a bad design. Not all slots are that way. The majority work. I like the battery power gauge.
Overall it is a good buy. It worth the money. But I just wished they had better design and were more thoughtful about the small battery drawer.

This is a good product that does exactly what you would expect. The only drawback is that, as part of its 66 battery capacity it allocates enough space for 8 9-volt batteries. Given that these are so rarely used in my house, I would have preferred to see maybe 4 spaces, with the remaining room being for extra AA or AAA batteries.

I love this item. I'm able to see at a glance what batteries I have and what I need to purchase. The tester is a useful addition, too. I've hung this in my laundry room near my supply cabinet. It really keep my batteries organized. My only improvement would be in the looks department. This unit is entirely utilitarian, which is, well, useful. It would probably cost $10-15 more if it was prettier, but I'd buy it!

This battery organizer is absolutely fabulous! It was very easy to mount on the wall, the design is simple and efficient, and the concept is perfect. The battery tester is a major plus, too, as there were plenty of loose batteries around the house, and I only had a couple of dead ones and plenty of good ones as it turns out! My mother-in-law saw this organizer and immediately wanted to know where we got it so that she could get one for her battery pack rat of a husband!

I purchased this product for my garage to store my batteries at one location. Although initially worried about wheather or not the product was well-made once it was received I had no worries. The product does, for me, what it was supposed to. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the fact that the batteries may fall out if not securely attached to a surface. So, that it exactly what I did and problem solved. Otherwise good product for the money.

With a new baby we have batteries coming out of every courner of the house. Instead of loose batteries in a ziplock bag that can discharge themselves we have them in this instead.

Keeps things neat and organized while also preventing them from discharging. This is faily sturdy and fits well in our kitchen junk drawer.

I plan on getting at least one more.

I needed something like this to organize my batteries. I was wasting good kitchen drawer space with the tons of batteries I was buying. Buy buying this storage rack, I can look instantly and tell you what I am low on...and what I need to buy... A great product..high quality. You wont be dissapointed...
