    Fed up with loose batteries?

    I was getting fed up with trying to look after loose batteries for my flashes and triggers so i did a bit of digging and found these!
    I ordered 4 that came super quick and theyre great (they even link together too!). Have just ordered a couple more to keep organised. Bargain at 99p each with free postage!

    I can't get that link to work, Rob. Would love to see what it is as I get annoyed with the batteries rattling about the place

    The link Rob posted worked from my PC it the site was Amazon. I have the same type of case which I got from 7dayshop free when I bought some Eneloop rechargables for my flash from them.

    Try this LINK

    BTW they do the cases without having to buy the batteries but they are slightly more expensive than those in Robs link.

    I have some of these and I also have ones that hold 8 or you can use them for cards which is also handy and are made by Ansmann and I got them from battery-force.co.uk. (search battery box) Terrific service and decent prices + a further discount of 5% on whatever you buy after that as a loyalty customer.

    Re: Fed up with loose batteries?

    I've been using these for a few years now to keep spare batteries for my GPS but I can't remember where I bought them from.
    They are so handy.
    I normally use 2 - 1 for freshly charged and the other for depleted batteries.

    Re: Fed up with loose batteries?

    I do similar Mike but in the cases that hold 4 batteries I put fresh ones in with the + contact at the opening end and when they are dead I store them with the + contact to the hinged end so at a glance you know whether they are fresh or not. In the Ansmann cases that hold 8 there are symbols on the case as to which way round to put them.

    Re: Fed up with loose batteries?

    I also have one which holds 8 batteries of differing sizes and has 2 'sides' for charged and used batteries..
    I use it for holding spare light meter batteries and my EOS 30 batteries - I used my EOS 30 all last year and just put another 4 rolls of film through it - I'm still on the same batteries!

    Re: Fed up with loose batteries?

    I thought this offer may be useful for anyone looking to purchase rechargeables and carry cases

    LINK

    BTW I don't have any association with the company other than by being a customer.
