My size 13 batteries last almost a week, so carrying two on my keychain is plenty, as long as I remember to reload when I get home.

Or even better, buy 6 cheapie 312 batteries for $2.58 and get a free battery case:

Plus $5.95 economy international shipping + >30% currency exchange works out to over $11 for your Canadian friends. Not a good deal for us.

It was just a good deal I found on ebay. I have 2 or 3 of those little carry cases because for a while I was buying in bulk on ebay from one vendor or another and they always came with a free keychain case.

Sorry I can’t help you guys in canada, maybe amazon will be a better deal for you.

I keep packs in all my vehicles. Living in S. Fl. I can attest from experience I have not had any heat related issues, and I have used batteries nearly a year old on occasion from this glove box stash.

The batteries negative is the whole case, except for the front protruding positive button.
You must be stacking them very tight and carefully, as stacking must rely on the air screen tab, which does not fully extend the whole diameter.
As long as our solutions work :sunglasses:

Jeff,
Thanks for the posting about storing your batteries in your glove box in south Florida. I live up in the panhandle of Florida so I don’t think it will get as hot here as down there and it’s good to know that your spares were OK when you needed them.

I have a PowerOne battery caddy on my keychain. It holds two different sizes of tabbed batteries snugly so they don’t rattle around.

I also keep “wheels” of batteries in each vehicle glove compartment, in my desk at work, and a couple of places at home.

some people say batteries go bad with heat, seriously a pack has 6 in it, I change them every 4 days, some do every 7 days.

that’s 21 days for the pack max. in that nothing degrades noticeably, just keep them in their package and put them in your jacket or wallet. That’s not gonna change anything in that short time.
