Don't you hate it when you're larping in your mom's basement and you run out of battery, and then you're in the dark and it's really really scary?  I hate when that happens, that's why I got the Thyrm CellVault 5M, which is a really cool waterproof battery holder that attaches to molle/pals webbing.

I like the modular battery storage that the 5M offers, but it only comes with inserts for CR123, 18650, and 18350 batteries - so I designed some inserts for AA and AAA batteries, and one that offers more storage for coin batteries (both 20xx and 16xx).  Like the inserts designed by Thyrm, my inserts can be installed backwards to signify dead batteries.  Unlike the Thyrm inserts however, my inserts have to be removed to access the batteries - I'm trying to figure out how to fix this.

Here's what you get:

  • cellvault5m_coin_batteries.stl - this has two slots for CR20xx batteries (CR2032, CR2016, etc) and one slot for CR16xx batteries (CR1632, CR1620, etc).  Use this if you need to store more coin batteries than the built-in 4 slots of the 5M
  • cellvault5m_6xAAA.stl - this takes up two “slots” or “rows” of space and holds 6 AAA batteries
  • cellvault5m_4xAA.stl - this takes up three “slots” or “rows” of space and holds 4 AA batteries.  I added smaller coin battery storage at the bottom to make use of that wasted space
  • cellvault5m_3xAAA_2xAA.stl - a combination of AAA, AA, and coin battery storage that takes up three “slots” or “rows”

and if you want a simpler solution, AA_to_18650.stl is a simple sleeve that will let you store a single AA battery in one of the inserts meant for 18650 batteries.

I really like the CellVault 5M, it's just really cool.  Thyrm does have an insert for AAA batteries, and their design is better than mine because for two “slots” of space mine holds 6 but two of theirs can hold 8 AAA batteries.  I really hope they come up with a similar solution for AA batteries, I'll be excited to see what they design.

I think this covers all the batteries used for tactical gear, but if you'd like a different configuration or an insert for another battery shape, feel free to reach out!

2025 March: At the request of @PatrickSieve_3047368, I designed a holder for 21700 batteries.  It's a tight fit, but maybe it will work!
