There are many battery organizers available in stores and online, but this homemade battery dispenser is another great option that you can make using a few timber off-cuts!

This drop down battery dispenser is one of the better ways of organizing your supply as it uses the first in first out method. With this system you can make sure you get the oldest, unused battery (the ones nearing expiry) in your stock first without rummaging. Plus, you can easily see which type of batteries need replenishing. It’s certainly a lot simpler and more efficient than batteries all jumbled together in a drawer.
