How to store Watch Batteries ?? !!

[Perfectionist]

So I bought a multi-pack of 50 of these little batteries ..... but being dumb decided to break them all out of the blister packaging and put them all in a small plastic bag ..... to save space ???

Anyway, the bag got real hot and melted !!

How the hell do I store these now without risking burning my house down !! ??

saran wrap.
wrap them up individually so they dont contact eachother

Leave them in the blister pack and stick them into a drawer? The blister packs are relatively flat, they shouldn't take that much room. If you don't have a drawer that has room, a shoebox may be a low cost alternative.

First, I would take a voltmeter and check all cells. If any are below the correct voltage for new cells, toss them.

You can use a piece of styrofoam and push them in on edge.

Be thankful this did not happen after putting three or four cells in your pocket with change and keys. Others have.
