They were designed as flags for charged batteries. Several years ago, the TechnoKats had a huge pile of yellow ones made to give away at competitions. We stick them in a battery connector as we remove a fully charged battery from the charger. They have to be removed in order to use the battery, so we know a flagged battery is good to go, and a non-flagged battery needs to be charged.
We have a stack of red ones as well. We use them as "lock-out" plugs when a robot is being worked on and should not be powered up. (We also use them on occasion to flag batteries that appear to be faulty and shouldn't be used until they've been checked out.)
