For carrying around your AA's?

Since getting my flash I've acquired a few batteries... ie.. 20.. And I need somewhere to put them...

Thanks.

These little nylon cases, mostly:

And when I'm switching out a set of used batteries, I just turn them upside down when putting them in the case so that I can tell them apart.

I use Kata P-32 (external link)'s. I can carry 2 BP511's and 4 AA's. Of course I would never carry 20 AA's. If you need that many AA's take a look at Jacob's Black Box (external link).

Ditto, except I usually trim the excess off and just have the part with the batteries left then throw it in the front pocket of my case.

I got a clear plastic case from one of my jobs that I use for the S3 but I did use w/e it is they came in. It was resealable but I lost it. I also use this, something i got off a camera bag:

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/png' | Redirected to error image by MYSPACECDN


This is for my 20D bag and the 4 AA's are for my flash and I need to replace those AAA's for more AA's for my flashlight. And as you can see, holds Memory cards nicely as well.

Good idea. I'll go do the same with mine then. I don't know why I put up with the inconvenience of having the excess part being a pain for so long. I must be a very patient man, I guess. :)

For what its worth, I just use the charger cradle and/or the battery cradle from my BG-E2. Obviously I use rechargeable batteries.

For those of you not looking to carry 20 batteries, these look good. All the other links listed here are great, but the shipping is like $6 for two of them, these have free shipping! http://www.dealextreme​.com/details.dx/sku.35​58 (external link)
