Are you saying that there are special boxes to store batteries?

Yes. But I away the ones which came with some batteries years ago. I
find elastic bands are just as good at keeping together "sets" of
rechargeable batteries: they take up less room that way; and the bands
are delivered free with the post

OTOH I have learnt the hard way to put insulation over the terminals of
the PP9s - or rather the hot and squishy meltdown way.
