I store my batteries outside of what ever unit in plastic medication bottles.
Be sure your washers are not so thick as to jam the battery door. I think you might be better off with paper or adhesive paper, tape, or similar on your battery terminals while storing them in your device.
Paper strips are a good idea but any adhesive might leave a residue on the battery or contact that could cause a bad connection.
Would storing them in separate zip-lock snack sized baggies work?
I too have a PEN-F, in the bag with lenses, gadgets, etc. AND the remote. Haven't yet had the battery problem, but now I know what to do. Thanks for raising the topic. How do you like the PEN-F??

I say put one in right and one in backwards and let them fight it out! 😜🤪

Some devices have protection circuit to protect them from reverse polarity but most don't and they can be damaged.
Most actually are protected - But you might just find the one which isn't

That works - if the batteries are in series - real bad if they are in parallel
