Heated Box Keeps Batteries Fresh
![]() |
“I used to keep all my cordless tool batteries in the house during winter to keep them from freezing. But I knew it would be handier if the batteries could be stored in the shop,” says LeRoy.
So, he fabricated a box from 3/4-in. plywood and installed a light socket at the bottom. The two shelves inside have holes drilled in them so heat from the bulb can rise.
“A 7 1/2-watt bulb keeps the temperature between 40 to 45 degrees. Because this box worked out so well, I made a larger one with a 15-watt bulb to hold freezable liquids.”
