For the Lithium-Ion batteries used in the Pentax K10D, Konica Minolta A2, E-1, and Panasonic L1, a Tamrac model 5680 slim digital camera case provides a near perfect battery case for two spares. The batteries fit snugly, side by side vertically in the bag, preventing any possibility of contact shortage even without a protective cap. They are protected against being knocked about loosely in the camera bag. And the case has a strap arrangement on the back which can be used to fit it on your belt and on Tamrac MAS/Lowepro external accessory bag loop systems. They also have a slim front pocket (with velcro closure) that fits a business card and spare memory card.
These small cases cost about $9 each. Well worth it.
