Hi everyone,

I purchased a new battery and memory card case. Whilst I’m more than happy with my existing case which holds 2 spare camera batteries and several SD memory cards as I very rarely have the need to take more than this out with me except when travelling. This case will hold 6 memory cards as well as three camera batteries and the end compartments can be used instead to hold a total of eight AA batteries. I don’t really have anything that takes AA batteries as all my gear is USB-charged and, although I own a couple of battery-powered flash guns and LED lights they don’t get much use but it’s a nice touch, good to have the option, and one never knows, it might occasionally come in handy.

The memory cards are a snug fit,, the battery compartments are, as expected, a bit too big for my Olympus type BLN-1 camera batteries but not so much as to overly concern me as the case is nicely padded. One of the card slots has a cut out to take a small screwdriver, as supplied to fit/remove quick release plates etc. and the case also comes with a micro SD card removal tool. I don’t really have a use for either and I carry a small screwdriver like the one supplied on my keyring so I discarded them. I was also a bit concerned that they might work loose and, being metal, just possibly short out battery contacts which one certainly doesn’t want happening!.

When not in everyday use the case makes for a nice battery and card storage box. Overall it’s nicely designed and constructed and a bargain as Amazon have them on a Black Friday deal at the moment at a very good 40% off the usual sale price. It’s about a third longer than my other case but still just fits vertically inside my Billingham Hadley Digital camera bag and should be very useful when I’m travelling and need the extra battery capacity neatly transported in one case . One more nice feature are the sliders below each battery compartment marked low and full which can be set to indicate fully charged or discharged batteries, assuming of course one remembers to set them. 🙂 Over the years I’ve purchased quite a few JJC accessories like my USB camera battery chargers with inbuilt USB cable, their illuminated camera sensor loupe and numerous lens hoods and found them to be fit for purpose, well designed and fairly priced often with some useful innovative design features. As always, I have no affiliation with nor have I been in any way sponsored by the manufacturer.

Kind regards

Leigh
