LOL! -

I was just cleaning up around my battery area and realized that those scrap bits of styrofoam I used as spacers around the batteries for transporting them were actually packaging from the boxes the batteries came in originally.

The foam is the exact length and width as the batteries!

FREE, PRE-MADE BATTERY TEMPLATES!

EDIT:
I actually have exactly enough of them, that if I stack them all up, they equal the HEIGHT of one of the batteries as well!
