General info[]
As their names implies, the cases can be used to. Despite the naming, they can be used to stores batteries that were for other purposes.
The first version, based on the now-discontinued Waterlight GE's Portable Battery Case, can stores up to the total of 12 AA batteries or 18 AAA batteries. The case was separated into top and bottom parts, and each part has 3 sections, large enough to stores 2 AA batteries or 3 AAA batteries per section.
The second version, based on the Sanwa Direct's Battery Case, can store up to the total of 6 AAA batteries and 4 AA batteries or 10 AA batteries. Unlike the first version, the second version was a single-tray design and is slightly larger.
Although they were designed for the AA batteries, they are not compatible with AA batteries that exceeds the standard AA battery's diameter (i.e. Panasonic Evolta alkaline batteries and Eneloop batteries (except the Lite variant)).
The cases can be stored in any of the carrying boxes, including Racer's Box, Super Racer's Box, Portable Pit and Carrying Pit.
