Where can I get 'AA' sized Battery Cases?

funksoulava · 26th November 2002

Did not order from Barrios the last time when he had it for sale. Went all over town to look for some, to no avail. Saw the 8 pack GP alkaline batteries with one battery case given but felt it was ridiculous to buy a few packs for them just to get my hands on the battery cases.

Any kind soul out there who can shed some light on where to buy them and how much? I usually carry about 10-12 spare batteries along with my equipment.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,
I have an alternative idea. Please bear with me.

I have also been carrying spare batteries around but with a difference. I use the little Ziplock bags that medication from doctors come from. A normal one will hold 4 batteries without any chance of shorting out and also is totally impervious to water.
I also carry a larger empty one that will fit my Digicam and seal well. A requirement in our Humid and Oft-rainy weather.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

Which part of the store did you find it? I was there many times, didn't see it

If you are really desperate, buy 4 AA size Energizer Titanium batteries. Their cases, although a little soft, can be recycled.

mpenza · 5th December 2002

That's even more expensive than getting the GP ones and the quality of the case is not as good

ivor · 8th December 2002

As it is make of plastic... under normal wear and tear, 2 of the plastic casing already giving way liao...
