This makes a paper friction-fit cap, which has never failed me. Strapping tape is permanent enough, but some kinds of book-repair (urethane?) tape are better. Kapton is overkill, but... the problem gets dead, it stays dead... that works.

Solid gold were they? With their poor quality they were only worth five cents, by the hundred. :( -- http://improve-usenet.org/index.html aioe.org, Goggle Groups, and Web TV users must request to be white listed, or I will not see your messages.

I use old prescription pill bottles to hold spare batteries. The size I have hold two AA type cells or a 9V type perfectly. The twist on/off security cap makes a tight seal to protect other items in the satchel in the event that the batteries were to leak. Sometimes these bottles stay around a long time if spares are not used very often. In those cases I'll insert a small paper in the bottle with the date scribbled on it. When a spare set is deployed the paper is thrown away and the used batteries can be placed in the same container until they can be properly added to the collection bucket at the local hardware store. - mkaras |
