Tools and Hardware Reviews of Range Kleen WKT4162 66-Battery Organizer with Removable TesterCustomer Review: A Pretty Good Battery Organizer, But . . . Summary: 4 Stars
This battery organizer will hold 61 batteries: 8 D-cells, 10 C-cells, 25 AA-cells, 10 AAA cells, and 8 9-volt cells. In addition, it has a small tray to store a few of those small button batteries we occassionally use for watches and such. It comes with a battery tester to check battery charge. The organizer can be placed in a drawer, on a shelf, or hung on a wall.
That's the good. The bad is that the button battery tray is useless when the organizer is hung on a wall, because if you open it, all the batteries in the tray will spill out onto the floor, or into your hand if you remember to cup it under the tray before opening it. Still, that isn't really too bad, and I'm not sure how it could be redesigned to make it work while hanging upright.
The ugly is that the battery charger is designed to frustrate people. Some reviewers here have even said that it doesn't work. The problem is that because of its design, you cannot put the battery straight in the tester; it must be held at an awkward angle that will vary with the size of the battery. So, battery in the other hand, tester resting in the heel of the other hand, and one finger trying to position the positive end of the tester so it will make contact with the positive end of the battery. It can be done with a little practice, but it is inconvenient.
One should also note that this organizer does not come with a cover, so if you should happen to drop it while carrying it across the room, all of you batteries will spill out. Normally that isn't a problem, because few of us will ever have much need to be carrying the organizer around. Still, a cover would be nice, especially if you would like to position something on top of the organizer when you're not reaching for a battery, or for just keeping dirt and dust from gathering on top of the batteries.
The lack of a cover and the manipulation needed to test a bettery is why I deducted 1-star. Other than this, it does the job.
