For my Canon 5D batteries I have plastic snap-on covers that cover one
whole side of the battery where the contacts are. They not only protect
the battery contacts but the orientation of the cover doesn't matter.
If you mark one end of the cover and establish a convention you can have
the cover indicate whether that battery is charged or not.
My Minolta A1 batteries have a shaped cover that slips over just the
contact end of the battery. That protects the contacts but provides no
means of changing the cover orientation to indicate charged or not
although extra covers with distinct markings would work.
But I have not seen any type of cover for the E-M1/M5 batteries. The
contacts are reasonably well protected against short circuit by being
recessed in a grid but carrying them without a protective cover is not
my style. So far I have been putting them into small, plastic bags
which are only just big enough to fit them in. It's not a particularly
good solution and also doesn't provide any means of marking the charge
state. Anybody have a solution for this?
