Camera battery storage and carrying solution

Camera battery storage I've used everything from recycled ExOfficio underwear wrappers (they used to put their boxers in thick plastic bags with buttons) to heavy-duty zippered bags. These items more or less worked, but none of them were perfect. Unfortunately, camera manufacturers don't always include covers for their battery posts, so you'll have to improvise to protect them. After a few years of work I decided to try the Think Tank packs and I swear to George they do a really good job. These battery cases are available in two or four sections. Individual compartments are the same size. I have many different brands and models of digital cameras, so I know that batteries come in a variety of sizes. As for the contents of these bags, each compartment holds a Canon 7D battery, a Canon 50D battery, a Canon Rebel T2i battery, a Fujifilm X-Pro1/2 battery, an Olympus E-P1/2 or Evolt e-620 battery . (same battery) or an Olympus Evolt e-520 battery (I love those old Olympus SLRs and really hate when Olympus discontinued them). ) batteries. Generally they work with any size battery I use for any digital camera I own, which is quite a wide range of sizes. Material and seams are ok. Over time, the elastic will likely sag, but for now it's tight. The velcro is secure but can be a bit loose on smaller single batteries. The 4 bay model is perfect for storage and on the go, while the 2 bay model fits in your pocket when you just want to be light with a single battery. Camera. Considering we are seeing smaller cameras these days, and smaller cameras using smaller batteries with lower capacity and shorter lifespans, it's a wise decision to bring some spares with you.
