thanks for saving me the search... I recommend this one frequently. Amazon tells me we bought it in 2010. It is fabulous to have it in a set location mounted to the wall so no one has to ask me where the batteries are.

We have them by size in plastic storage boxes with snap on lids -- maybe 8x8 size? I got them from Daiso. We have a box each for AA, and AAA, and then C/D/9-volts and miscellaneous batteries are in one box. Most of our items use AA or AAA. The boxes are great because they are stackable and don't take up much room.

We have a pegboard closet to hold nerf guns and midway up that wall we have hanging boxes with each type. If I took the time to label them, it would be better...but it works!

I was storing the batteries in their packages and put them in the largest container box and kept it in our mud room closet.

But it was getting disorganized within that box and out of space. So I got this as part of DH’s Xmas present and it’s a hit!

DH also got this for Christmas and It's been great so far. Sturdy and has plenty of room for everything.

Ha ha! I also bought my DH the Battery Daddy for Christmas! He loves it because there is a battery tester.

I keep them in separate Ziploc baggies and then put them in one of those disposable loaf pans, and store in the cabinet above my washer.

I usually buy my batteries at Costco and they don’t come in a box, maybe that is a California thing.

Plastic shoebox storing the sizes in the packages they came in. HOWEVER, with DH home all the time and the kids getting older (and independently changing batteries), they system is definitely not working as well as it used to!

I use these lidded bins for my regular batteries, which I keep in various drawers, like the tools drawer in my pantry and a necessities drawer in my closet.

I considered the storage containers that divided each battery, but it seemed like an inefficient use of space to me, and not the most attractive to boot. I buy batteries in bulk, so sometimes I may have 48 AAs, sometimes I may have 10. Usually I am up on a certain type, down on another. It is more efficient for me to just have bins that can fit the highest amount, while taking up less horizontal space than the special holders.

The batteries are sorted when they go in - AAs to one side, AAAs to another, and so forth, and they basically hold their order.

The rechargeable batteries, however, I do use a special battery holder for, as I generally stick to the same finite number of rechargeable batteries. It is kept in a drawer with an outlet inside, where the batteries are easily charged.

We use one of these two. My mom is queen of QVC shopping and gave this to DH as a xmas gift a few years back. We laughed that it is nothing we'd probably buy ourselves but it has actually come in handy.
