Title: Rotating battery use
Post by: blu666z on June 29, 2003, 12:33:52 AM

So I have 3 batteries to use for my UA-5.  I want to try and use them all the same amount of times.  I had an idea to just tape a piece of paper on them and mark each time I use them.  I have a feeling that all tapers, including myself, tend to be very anal about things.  Anybody else have any better ideas?

You could recharge them after you use them and then not worry about it ;D 8)

it is good to rotate your batteries, they will last longer and you will get more consistant usage from them over time.

How to keep track of rotation is what I am asking.  I made up an Excel spreadsheet to do it.  Maybe I'm a dork...ok, I definately am....sue me!

Dork!   :P

Think you'll diligently populate the spreadsheet as you go?  Maybe at first, but then...sllllllaaaaaaaaaacccccckkkkkkkk...spreadsheet's no good!  But perhaps you have remarkable self-discipline for stuff like that.  Dork.   :P

just mark them with tape or something, red yellow green or whatever, put the green in your bag, tape a show, come home, take it out and charge it, put the yellow in your bag...then red...if you cant figure out that logic then surrender your drivers license to the DOT and your rig to ME!

KISS=Keep It Simple Stupid.....no need for a silly spreadsheet, unless you want to do my itemized deductions and my returns while you are at it. heh

Get a sharpie and label them 1,2,3 its pretty easy to rotate them
