I have a stockpile of these things but I need to store some in the vehicle when I go camping just in case. I'm changing most of my stuff over to rechargeable but having a standard battery flashlight just seems smart, and backup for radios ect. My concern is how to store them so they are good to go when I need them.
Might be the wrong place.... how do you store your batteries (AAA, AA etc)

I use urine sample jars. They are the right height to hold bundles of AA and AAA batteries, and I can stash the jars in small compartments or throw a jar in my pack. And they are waterproof.
I carry smaller quantities that some folks, so I used a couple of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004XO8DMG/ They have them for almost all battery sizes including the CR123 (Surefire and other high output flashlights)
http://www.pccardpkg.com/product_groups/battery/aa.htm I use the Battery Tube Organizer, I don't remember where I got these, but I like that they can hold a mix of batteries 2x AA and 2x CR123 at the same time.

Pelican 1020 will hold 18 18650 rechargeables.
How about one that will hold (7) D (9) C (32) AAA or N cells (42) AA or cr123 Batteries all at the same time.

Also check the Pelican 1010 case.
This is one time I like Pelican cases as they don't take up too much room when they are this size. It is easier to find a small spot to stash the box.

For bulk storage at home I use the ammo boxes that shooters use to store reloaded ammo. For AAA I use the Case-Gard RSS-50 Rifle size and for AA I use the Case-Gard RMLD 50 size. I just brought a couple of each battery size to the local shooting supply shop and tried a few until I found which box fit the best. They're durable, hold 50 batteries each and don't allow the batteries to fall around or get messed up.
When I only need a few batteries or space is at a premium, Storacell makes the best battery holders.
