Carrying spare battery

You could make one out of Sugru by putting cling film over a battery first.
I have a number of small zip-lock style plastic bags (freezer/food/electronics - but non-conductive

Also note that if you are flying, I'd recommend taking your batteries (except lead/acid car batteries, of course!!) into the cabin with you, rather than packing them in your suitcase that's going into the hold of the plane.
They're great and work really well. I distinguish between fully charged and discharged batteries depending on which way up the contacts are. Down = fully charged; Up = discharged. As the cases are translucent, you can tell which one to use before opening the case.

I do like MikeP's Marzipan

Think this trip it will be a small plastic bag and then in a little leather purse and I'll cogitate thereafter .
Steven - my camera comes in the cabin with me - chargers and an extension block go in my hold case . NO-ONE but no-one handles my beloved camera

The cable can go in the hold, but the charger doesn't take up much room, and if your hold bag gets lost you can always buy a new cable for the charger.
More than one spare then a small zip-lock bag per battery is a cheap option.
I'm very happy with my 3-D printed battery covers.

You mean me.
I ordered them online.

Placcy bag and a little leather purse should work nicely for this trip

note that if you are flying, I'd recommend taking your batteries … into the cabin with you, rather than packing them in your suitcase that's going into the hold of the plane.
My understanding is that you must now carry spare lithium batteries in cabin baggage only - see p5 here.

Now , and certainly till I know how my Li-On batteries will last I must carry the spare , charged of course , with me
How do I carry it in my bag ? After all the terminals are exposed all the time - so they should be protected to stop accidental shorting.
Ideas please
