grober Posted April 4, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) One buys additional batteries and now you need to organize how and when each, in rotation, is utilized. Yes, there is a tiny, unique number on each but what's the best way to non-destructively mark each battery for instant recognization? I don't want to introduce any foreign chemical to be placed near the camera's electronics that might cause a problem. Ideas, anyone? -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Sanchez Posted April 4, 2007 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2007 I've got four batteries that i rotate between two bodies. I dabbed little dots, 1,- 4, on the butt end of each with some of my wife's white fingernail polish & let it dry overnight. i briefly considered white-out, but figured it'd flake off, as might regular paint. fingernail polish will adhear to anything.

wparsonsgisnet Posted April 4, 2007 Share #3 Posted April 4, 2007 I use the silver, metallic markers from Pilot, and place 1, 2, 3, ... and so on dots on the bottom of each. I see the bottom as the end where the part holding the connectors is flush with the end. I place them end-up in a pocket in my bag and the silver dots reflect in dim light. This could almost be advice from a photographic green beret. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Roggen Posted April 4, 2007 Share #6 Posted April 4, 2007 I used my Dymo Letra Tag thing to print a 1 and a 2 and stuck those on the bottom of the batteries. Hans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 4, 2007 Share #7 Posted April 4, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) J. W. - I did the same as Skippy did with my D2 batteries (but I used red nail polish) nearly three years ago. No confusion, no ill effects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
