Charging station

What have you set up for the battery chargers for your cordless tools, that is not a spaghetti factory of wires. I have 2 skil li ion tools, 2 makita and 1 bosch, and they are all different batteries and require different chargers.

I installed a shelf near the door leading into the house (attached garage) and wall mounted a power strip beneath it. An Ipod & speakers also reside at this station.

-Does not clutter work bench space-
-Easy access to batteries-
-When I am done with my projects- I am easily reminded to toss the batts on the charger before I enter the house.
-If I am in the house and need a spare batt- I can open the door and reach for the battery

At first i didn't put much thought into the "station" - It was simply a good spot to mount the power strip and would not take up workbench outlets.

I have often thought about this. It seems eschoendorff posted some pics (maybe a year ago?) of a side shelf for a tool box that would be a good candidate for charger setup.

Having them set up near the exit door seems like a good idea, too.
