spare battery stash

How do you guys carry your spares? I shoot Nikon DSLRs and Olympus Mirrorless. I just throw them naked each one in a separate pocket. Sometimes each one in a small sandwich baggie if I'm carrying a few.

I do the same thing, but I also have some of those little plastic protectors that come with most batteries. It seems unlikely that two naked batteries in a pocket will have their contacts touch and set your pants on fire.

Me too re the plastic protector cover things, those are why I posted, never again, couldn't get the damn thing off my Nikon battery to do a field swap, lost a picture opportunity, of course it was my fault for venturing afield with a low battery in the body, I just figured I'd see how many shots I could get out of it.

Op/Tech has a couple of options. They are cheap, well designed and made in the USA. It fits right on my camera strap and will hold a spare battery AND spare memory card. I really don’t even know it’s there.
I use the small one as it has a lot of stretch.

I have four spares, I purchased two dual battery holder pouches.

I leave the caps on and carry them in my pocket.

I use those dual pouches and when I swap batteries freshly charged have terminals down while depleted have terminals up so I know which is which.

Ditto.
I also use Stor-a-Cell holders for the AA/AAA batteries, top-up=fresh, top-down=spent.

I use this battery, SD and CF holder. Everything in one case. Keep it in your pocket, or your camera case.

No special containers for me, but I know which battery to grab next to replace the depleted one. Always use the next one in the number sequence.
In the photo below, #2 is now in the camera and all batteries in the photo are fully charged. The sequence can start anywhere ... for this set, at this moment, it would be 2-3-4-5-1 (#2 is in use).

Neat! - I didn't find that years ago when I purchased my battery pouches. I just have a hard Ruggard card case that holds 8 memory cards...

I love this sturdy pouch - about size of pack of cigarettes, holds 2 batteries and spare SD card securely on belt, velcro flap. No more digging in pockets and bringing out everything else with battery. Less than $10.
