When carrying two or more sets of rechargeable AA or similar, it may be an advantage to ensure that they are of different brands or in some way differentially marked. I have two sets of Energizers - one bought here in Canada, the others holdovers from Australia. I accidentally spilled them into a pile and had to work out which were the flat and which the charged. Fortunately the latter had just come off the charger and were palpably warm (and now both sets are good to go), but when scrabbling around in your camera bag without a table to dump things on, it's vital to know, if they get mixed up, which set you just took out and which you want to put in.
