New stuff from countycomm...

http://www.countycomm.com/CBH.htm

Pretty cool. I mean I can't see using it for BOBs battery keeping but for EDC in my pack it surely is a decent solution.

Them guys at countycomm never stop to amaze me. I can blow 200 bucks for little things and still not have enough of their little pouches and items.

Cute little devils. Kinda pricy tho, if you like to carry a lot of batteries around. I get my AA's from Costco, Kirkland brand, they come in a box with groups of four batteries sealed in hard plastic. My 123's I usually just tape together by twos with scotch tape. Not the best solution I know, but cheap...

I use plastic batery holders, for most of mine battery storage. I use a much cheaper alternative: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3558 and http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3258


Very nice stuff to keep your batteries together. They are aslo avalible in seperatly.

well the one's from countycomm do indeed look pretty squady proof. From the looks of it, it should be way more durable than the one i use. But at 5 bucks a pop, a bit too price for mine budget. Well atleast for what i'm willing to pay for a piece of plastic to keep mine batteries together.

Note about DealExtreme... They are in Hong Kong. Shipping will take close to a month. Keep that in mind.

I have ordered from them before and will likely do so again --- just not for something that I am in a hurry to get.

If they had a belt clip and were a little larger, looks like they
would be a good belt carry for shotgun shells.

Take a look at the Batuca cases as well. They are 1/2 the price of the CountyComms and provide much better dust/grit protection. Still, I have some extra-thick little zip bags that perfectly fit 4 CR123s or 6 AAAs. These are more waterproof than the CountyComm or Batucas, and you won't find anything more space efficient. I'll post a pic later if I can snap some photos.

Those have a molded hinge though. Those break after a few uses, I've been searching for a long time for a battery case that was made with a real hinge.

The model that County Comm carries is the slim line. Bottom right of the page. They even have some that glow in the dark!! Lots of other colors too. Pretty neat!
