EBL Smart USB Charger Platform Battery Holder AA/AAA

thingiverse

I am using a simple USB charger for my Eneloop AA batteries near my computer, so I wanted a simple holder of some sort to prevent them from rolling around. First version: the base clips in place (when the tolerance does not quite fit, apply some glue, power strip or whatever) and gives storage for two AA behind the charger. Going from there I have mashed up several versions: - 2 AA behind - 4 AA on the right side - 4 AA on the left side - 4 AA on the left and right side: 8 AA in total - 4 AA/AAA on the left and right side: 8 AA/AAA in total Sure thing, Eneloops aren't the cheapest, but I've got several years old ones in my rotation (don't know exactly, but about 40 to 50 in AA/AAA?!) and ALL OF THEM are still perfectly fine! As an alternative I can say [Powerowl batteries](https://www.amazon.de/s/ref=as_li_ss_tl?k=POWEROWL&ref=bl_dp_s_web_17653421031&linkCode=sl2&tag=smashdde-21&linkId=33582436d8c4570eec79bfb8e357aa4f&language=de_DE) have impressed me lately. For their very compelling price point they are delivering fantastically! They are low self-discharge as well. Measuring the AA and AAA variants over 5 cycles gave lower numbers than advertised but still higher than the Eneloop.
