I had been thinking about some cases before you wrote this, but didn’t see any that were like the ones you had (which I like). But, a case is a case, lol…. not going to help me take better pictures or anything.

Strobist’s David Hobby likes to keep his in 4’s to keep them evenly charged/discharge. Eventually, one will go bad and then you can split it into a group of 3 or 2 + 1 (for your pocket wizards, flashlight, remote controls, whatever).

I ended up buying a big batch of NiMH batteries, and I settled for an extra large size memory stick case holder–which holds a dozen AA cells under elastic, mesh pockets–and also a plastic clam shell battery case, which can go in the pocket. I used have some articles that mentioned high-end chargers that check battery states. Wish I could post them but unfortunately I’ve lost the bookmarks.

I’ve found that certain brands of rechargeables have their shortcomings. Some low-discharge types I’ve bought made me wonder how bad were the fast discharge variants! I use the good ones for cameras and strobes, and the not-so-good ones (of which I have many) for winders–where a couple batteries with low voltage aren’t going to stop the works.

I’m not a press photographer, so there are many places where a strangely-shaped bag would arouse suspicion. When going light, small flat battery cases are excellent because they fit in the pocket like a wallet.

Hey Bob,

I appreciate your comment. I used to mark my batteries in sets of four to keep them together. I hoped by charging and using the batteries in sets they would maintain the same relative health. It never seemed to work that way. Over time, one or two cells in the set would stop taking a charge. So I would eventually mix good cells from several sets to make one good one. I still try to keep the cells together in sets, but I’m not overly fanatic about it. The battery cases help in this regard, as they make it simple to keep cells together in a set. I just remember to drop the exhausted batteries in different pockets in my gadget bag. That way, I keep the cells together.

Thanks again. Tom

Hi dr4gon:

As I mentioned, I got my cases on ebay. I didn’t list the seller, because I wasn’t sure if the seller still had stock to sell. Just go to ebay and search for AA battery holder. You will get a whole list of sellers. There are many different styles and designs. I suggest looking for cases that will hold four cells, as most flash units are designed to use four batteries. Look for the best deal, with free shipping if possible.

If you don’t want to go the ebay route, try Meritline.com. They have different style of case than I have, but it looks like it would work well. I have bought other items from Meritline, and they have always given me quick service and free shipping. I hope that helps.
