If any of you live near The Container Store, or are comfortable with shopping online, the Container Store makes lovely light weight A A battery cases which hold 12 batteries. When i was working for the BrailleNote folks, I carried this and a tripple a case around with me all the time. This protects the batteries and keeps the little guys all in one convenient place.
