With all the battery operated support gear (lights, lasers NV, etc) I'm look for some quality protective cases to store 18650, 18350, CR123 batteries. I'm checking out the Thyrm CellVaults, they look pretty and just what I'm searching for. I thought I'd check and see what else is out there and what are you all using/recommend to protect your not so cheap rechargeable batteries and still have them with you and not just in a your kit bag. TIA
I prefer Storcell

I concur with https://storacell.net. I use them with 9v, AA, AAA, and CR123.
Pelican.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll check them out.
Surefire makes a nice little case for the CR123’s. I’ve had one for several years.
I have one of those too.Quote:

This thread was a good reminder for me to pull out my GTFO bag batteries out and check their charge.

ETA: I just noticed storacell written on the 18650 case.
I keep these in my GTFO backpack in my truck, so H2O proof wasn’t a consideration considering I only take it hunting as it has all my deer processing utensils as well as other stuff like fire starting Med kit etc……
I keep these on my plate carrier. They appear to be H2O resistant at least.

I will look at the Pelican cases as H2O proof is probably a good thing.
The Pelican and Surefire are water tight though. That used to be huge for me before I started "country club" shooting with Pappabear. ;)
I have one those, holds 6 123s and a spare bulb.Quote:

I love these things, just what I was looking for. I’ve been using the -18 and -5M for awhile now.Quote:

If you don't need bomb or waterproof battery thingee's, these work. Hook and loop. Fits in my Spiritus Sack Pouch MK3 . Hold's 6 123cr batteries.

Or if you need one for AA's

And these work well if you only have a little room in your admin pouch.

I bought their BCG case and it is well made. I like it. These must be well made as well.Quote:

I picked one of these up. Its pretty nice, the only thing is that if you open the wrong way it will spill out all the batteries so I took a sharpie to itQuote:

I guess (insert age old phrase) I'm going to have to train with itQuote:

For waterproofing they are placed in a loksak bag. They're very small and compact and don't take up much more room than the batteries themselves and can be moved around on gear relatively easily whether stored inside the main pack or placed in a pouch on a plate carrier or chest rig. I've been using the same ones for a couple years now and they've lasted a lot of field cycles. I went with the smaller capacity storage cells due to sizing and ease of placement in equipment. Bonus is they're also really inexpensive compared to thrym and some other options.
