I hadn't thought about it before but we generally have a supply of tiny
zip lock plastic bags used for many things. I just picked one up that
is approx. 3x4" (not counting the zip lock top). A Minolta A1 battery
(and probably the 5D battery as well) won't fit into the bag with its
long dimension against the short side of the bag. But it easily slips
in lengthwise and is easily secured with the zip lock top. They can be
found in the crafts section at Walmart in various sizes down to about
2x2" or even smaller. Also probably in craft and hobby stores. I think
they're generally about 50 in a package for small ones.
