You'll see dispensers like the one Matt linked in the OP for candy like Lifesavers in some store displays. I've never seen anything like it sold at retail expressly for dispensing batteries though. Both that and the design Cris linked to would be pretty easy to make out of wood or any material able to be cut/shaped with wood-working tools.
Or I could just drop ~$2500 for a Makerbot and use the Thingaverse blueprints
Thanks for the reminder Matt, I need to buy a bunch more Eneloops to finish replacing the remaining standard NiMH I still have around.
Yeah, I still have a small assortment of NiMH batteries, but they rarely get used, and usually for little throw-away stuff. I now have a full assortment of Eneloops, especially now that Costco sells them separated now! They used to sell a package that included the 4-cell charger, 4 AAA, and 8 AA. Of course, this was annoying for two reasons: I don't want to buy the charger every time (although I have two of them now), and I happen to have a much greater need for AAA batteries than AA. Now they sell the AA's, AAA's, and charger separately at Costco, so I picked up two packs of AAA's and one of AA's, and I should be pretty stocked up. I just want a nicer way to store them than in a tupperware bucket.
I also really want one of those large capacity Maha chargers that handles each cell individually.
Oooo, link?
