Slim Line Battery Caddy
Occasionally I stumble across something cool for my camera bag, and it happened again this week, so I just thought I woudl share my experiences with the Slim Line Battery Caddy. I purchased several of these from Tools Aviation recently and I'm very happy with them. I carry AA rechargeable batteries in my camera bag to power my external flash units, and during fall and winter sports seasons, I fire a lot of flashes, so having power on hand is critical. These battery holders are quite efficient and don't require opening and closing like some of the traditional cases I have used in the past. I don't find myself fumbling around with a battery case and spilling batteries out all over the place when I have my hands full. One of the other nice things about this type of case is that it's easy to keep groups of 4 batteries together. The batteries will go in the holder in either direction, so you can put charged batteries in one direction and depleted batteries in the other to keep track of which need charging when you get home. At $4.95 each, they are as cheap or cheaper than most other decent battery cases. I think they are definitely worthwhile if you carry batteries...

I bought my battery holders and was kind of hesitant on buying them but once I received them I have enjoyed having them around so I do not seem to misplace my high priced rechargeable batteries and I bought them in different colors so I know which batteries are charged and which ones are dead. Now I just wished that they made a battery holder to fit my Nikon EN-EL3e batteries since I have a few of them and they are the only ones rolling around in the camera bag. Everyone should have these holders if you use a lot of batteries.
