Thats a really good tip on color coding the battery sets. I have a bunch of those colored dots. I am going to color code mine. I haven't mixed them up yet, but I can see that is something that will probably happen sooner or later.

oh and a tip ... colorcode your battery sets ... you never know when they will get mixed up ...
