Batteries come in many different shapes, sizes, and applications, and it can be very helpful to have several different kinds stored in your home for later use. Storing batteries properly has many benefits. Proper storage extends the life of the batteries, keeps them from becoming a safety hazard, and allows you to easily find them when you need them. Learning how to store batteries properly requires following a few simple rules and designing a solution that meets your needs.
Wise Owl Safety Takeaways:
- Any time two 9-volt batteries touch (on the terminals on top of the batteries), they can create a charge, build enough heat, and burst into flames.
- As long as two 9v batteries are not touching one another on the positive and negative terminal ends — or positioned close enough to one another to create a charge — they’re completely harmless.
- If you want to be super organized with your battery storage, do something like this to keep all of the various battery sizes separated.
