i carry stuff that uses AA batteries. If I get a pack of these, drive over washboards, they get all jumbled up in the package and I am sure that some must short out.

Does anyone have a good solution for carrying a stock of these in a "neat & tidy" fashion?
 
You mean something like this?
Container Store

I just put these containers in a small stuff sack. Fresh batteries in the containers, used (rechargable) go in the stuff sack loose.

I use rechargeable NiMH batteries and they come with a small plastic case (4 pack) that fit in nicely with the charger in a bag. About the size of two Crackberries stacked.

I also keep our headlamps in a Crown Royal sack with a few regular back up batteries inside, never had a problem with bad batteries.

These look great! I'll be ordering some of these before my next trip.
 
By the way, what are you using C and D cells for? I haven't needed them in years- ever since LED flashlights and iPod speakers (run on AA). Haven't seen a "boom box" in years...
 
What do you think the odds of them actually shorting out are? They'd have to complete a circuit.

i had a 48pk of AA's that burst after being washboarded! they were all over the place.
i just want to keep them together so that i have a clear understanding of the count and their age.
i would like them to be in the tool bag too.....mingling with all the metal tools.....
 
The plastic canisters that a roll of 35mm film came in are great for holding 2 AA batteries. I realize 35mm film isn't used much anymore, but you might check with a local camera shop to see if they will give you some canisters.

You could put a piece of tape over one end of each battery. You could even code whether the battery is new or spent by which end the tape is on.
