18650 battery dispenser

[oplholik]

I am looking for a battery dispenser like the one pictured below that holds 8 - 10 18650 batteries. The one below holds only 5. Has anyone seen a bigger one?

Oh wow Astro thanks for opening up my eyes. Can't believe I have all those shotgun shell cases and never once thought of using it for batteries.

I like that case! Now, to find one. I'll start over at Dick's Sporting Goods.

Update ... Amazon has the Plano shot shell box that looks like AstroTurf's photo. I just put one in my cart.

That's cool. Great way to ensure you rotate thru all of your batteries.

I would love to find on that held 10 batteries as well.

Could you bond another, inverted, above it (Top to top) to extend the battery feed?
A bit of CA/epoxy may be all that is needed.

I got mine on Amazon as well. The MTM brand is the brand I have. They are very durable and long lasting. I have had them for about 5 years now.

I contacted the seller/maker on Etsy about making two for me each holding 10 batteries, one will be for my flat tops, and one for the button tops. He can do it for just a little more than the 5 battery holder. I am also checking to see if he will do one for 18500 batteries. These will solve my loose batteries headaches.

Are they expensive?

I have about 25 18650 and 15 18350s and a few of these would be perfect.

$9.95 for the one that holds 5 batteries. When I contacted him and asked about one that would hold 8 batteries, he said $1.00 more. So if you are interested, contact him thru Etsy and see what you can work out for what you want. Just use the "ask a question" tab. Free shipping in the US, but I see you are in Canada, so don't know about that.

Those dispensers look nice. I ordered a Plano 12ga shotgun shell box from Amazon for my 18650's (the one in AstroTurf's post uptopic). It's good storage that's easy to use, but I hadn't seen one that hangs on the wall like yours.

Amazon has transformed from a low price seller to a convenience seller. I used to count on them to have lower prices than retail, but they've established their dominance in the market, along with the convenience factor. I think they just try to match Walmart these days. They had to be running the 2 day prime delivery option at a break even point early on.

These have a broad base for standing. If you wanted one for the wall, I'll bet he could make them for that.
