A Simple Battery Usage Routine
A color coding routine used for a large or small operation that uses the same kind of battery in all mobile devices:
1. Color code all batteries by shift:
1. Shift 1 Blue
2. Shift 2 Red
3. Shift 3 Green
2. Charge all batteries according to color. For example, all blue coded batteries should be charged during shifts 2 and 3.
3. Users place all used batteries into battery chargers at the end of every shift.
4. Track battery capacity readings by recording the date of last charge for each battery on the label (or log sheet).
