Ok so not exactly a question, more of a suggestion of what I've been using to carry my spares. If you have been looking for something very cheap, I use old prescription pill bottles. Just take off the old label, rinse, let dry and ta-da, you have a free easy way to carry a spare.
Storing/Toting spare batteries....

I was told that you can actually put some electrical tape on the positive end of the battery and you'd be good to go. Save even more space. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.........
Those old pill bottles take up too much room me. I've got enough junk in my purse already!

WOW! Nice catch, Rat, and did you get a load of the battery in the pic? FAN da Fire! Think I'll stick with my Pannys and Samsungs!
Other than that, essentially the same as what I use. Cheap, easy and safe.
Pill bottles and plastic coin tubes are also great for transporting spare tanks, contains any leakage.
I have about 10 of these, not exactly this one but ones of the same design. They work perfectly.

I thought I'd see all the _____fire batteries but the FANDYFIRE takes the cake! Some of the local stores will sell the plastic boxes and some give 'em away. Depends on the store.
Anyway, I like the plastic ones to carry the spares in my pocket.
Electrical tape gets messy with in no time with just body heat and will leave a sticky residue in your pocket.
And, for the sake of mentioning, policemen used to carry spare batteries in their pockets with bullets, and yes, occasionally a bullet would go off in the pocket. I can only imagine an officer explaining to his wife why they'd never have children of their own.

Only when I'm out with a 14500 mod do I need to carry any spare batts for my PV, but I do keep my batteries at home in the translucent plastic cases most of the vendors sell for different sized batteries and like the one linked to earlier in this thread by John_.
I do, however, carry some spare batteries for other devices required for my work. I have to have a couple of AA (14500 size), a couple of AAA (10440 sized), and at least a few 123a's. Also because of my work, they are best kept in the most durable sort of water resistant container possible. My 123's go in these. My AA's go in these. And my AAA's go in these. They aren't cheap, but they are durable, water resistant, corrosion resistant, and I can tie them to my gear so they don't get misplaced.

I'm not keeping them in my pocket. I have them in my vape case with other vape supplies. Thx for the note tho!
