Another win for owning a CNC. We have a drawer in our China cabinet where we put all of our batteries and inevitably they get thrown around and start to touch and start to leak. We also will get free sets of batteries at our grocery store and we lose track of which ones are the oldest so we use those ones first. This was a quick evening project and simply involved measuring the types of batteries I wanted to store and doing a layout that fit the drawer. We did have some older C and D size batteries but realized we hadn't used those since our kids needed them for various toys so I focused on the AA and AAA as well as the 9-Volt that we use for things like smoke detectors and water sensors. there was room at the front for the miscellaneous button batteries for things like alarm sensors. A quick coat of spray poly and the project was done. I was briefly worried I might be connecting the batteries in series through the wood but so far so good. Even if they do leak, the chemicals will be contained. Things could get out of hand quickly if I think about all the custom inserts for drawers I can now create.
