Batuca Battery Cases - where to buy? Do they fit Into Otter/Peli Cases?

[Doug]

I was wondering if a pair (or just 1) Batuca case would fit into a Pelican or Otter case.... has anyone tried this? Got pics? Thanks!

Re: Batuca Battery Cases, Do They Fit Into Otter/Pelican Cases?

just tested this for ya

a double batuca does fit in a Pelican 1010 just barely BUT you have to remove the rubber lining which means it wont be waterproof. a single batuca fits just fine.

why would you want to do that though? just get a piece of foam, fit it into the case, and make holes the batteries? anyways, there ya go!

How would removing the rubber lining make the case no longer waterproof?

The idea is to have something to hold batteries, that I can break down, and put into something smaller as needed.... So, if I need to take them, and put them in something that might get wet, crushed, I use the pelican case, if I just need 4 batts, I take one half of the Batuca's... does that make sense?

What are the dimensions of the 2 Batuca cases together? Thanks.

Rubber lining acts as a gasket. You'd have to see one of the cases in person to understand.

My 1010 case dose not have a rubber lining, just a foam pad and a o-ring!

4-1/2" L x 2-3/4" W x 7/8" D. A single Batuca is a tad over 2-1/4" L.

I have found that two Surefire 12 pack 123 boxes (cardboard) fit perfectly side by side in a 1030 case.

Looks like they should fit into a 1010 case... I guess I will just have to get them, and try them in a 1010 case.... Thanks Codeman...

It was not necessary to start a second thread on this. I am merging them.

My 1550 case holds a bunch of camera gear and a bunch of batteries. Just pick-n-pluck the foam between the cameras for batteries
