Battery Case.

ultrazoom · 28th April 2002

Does anyone know where I can buy battery case? I can't seem to find a place selling them.

Best to be those that can fit 4 NiMH AA batteries in one. How much is it?

Please direct me. TIA.

There is this shop call ACE at Novena Square selling 8xAA Alkaline batteries for $5.90. Free gift is a plastic case that holds 4xAAs.

Guys, guys, it's NOT possible to accidentally short AA/AAA batteries as the terminals are so far apart! Those proprietary LiON ones are more suceptible but even then, they are not so easily accidentally shorted by leaving it in your pocket/bag, etc.

For AA/AAA batteries, simply bundle them up using rubber bands. Worked well enough for me for years. Otherwise, you can try the packaging of the Engergizer Titanium AA batteries.

The main purpose of me having camera case/holder is because I have different mix of batteries of the same brand, such as 1600, 1700, 1850mAH.

Though not really a need to do so, I just want to keep those of the same together, and also, I don't have to spend time digging and searching for the same type when all are mixed together. Lastly, it's easier for storage purposes.

Hi

I made a battery holder for myself that can hold 20 AA and 4 CR2. It's very useful for overseas holiday especially when chraging is not an option.

Someone here mentioned that the case which the lab gives you when you ask for mounted slides can be used. Check that out.
