Clip Wires to Remember

I try to have enough batteries on hand so I can fly a plane most of the day without having to charge packs at the field. The only problem was that when I got home, I was not sure which packs were used and which ones were charged. I remedied this problem by adding plastic clips found on bread packaging to my discharged packs. On a recent trip to the arts and crafts store I found something even better: tiny clothespins. Now when I get home, I just pull out all the battery packs with the clothespins on them and start charging.
