Battery Handling!
I've decided to buy a voice recorder in this last year of high school since I'm struggling now and it'll be good for university anyways if I make it. Abd I haven't used batteries since like my toddler days for those loud toys. And I don't want to leave batteries in the voice recorder when i'm not even using it and I know from school that if you keep it in your pocket it'll like burn through. So what can i hold 2 AA batteries in for temporary storage until I place them back in? (Hate batteries, so expensive and bad for the environment! But all voice recorders must have them...)

Hi there,
Any chance you are you the one who asked the voice recorder question earlier? If so, I now know what you have against batteries.
First things first: You have been given some bad information.
If you leave the batteries in the recorder, nothing bad will happen. I have a good quality recorder, and I always leave batteries in it. You never know when you will need the recorder right away. When it is turned off, it doesn't use battery life anyway. Only poor quality recorders would have this problem.
If you carry a few AA batteries in your pocket, they will NOT "burn through." Whoever told you that... well, don't take any more electronics advice from them. ;-)
The only way a battery would overheat in your pocket would be if it was short circuited. Something would have to connect one end of the battery directly to the other end.
Putting a battery in a pocket with 2 pounds of loose change wouldn't be wise, but other than that, you are good to go.
Take it from someone with 25 years of electronics experience, you have very little to fear from a AA battery. :-)
Back in the mid 80s, you never saw me without a Walkman. portable tape players burned batteries like you would simply not believe... so I always had a bunch with me. If they really did burn you if put in pockets... I would would have died. ;-)
Now for the environmental issues:
Buy rechargeable batteries. Just that simple.
4 AA batteries and a charger can be had at places like WalMart for between $13-$20.
I would suggest the Energizer brand if you are buying from WalMart's selection.
They can be recharged many times, and are very decent batteries. Places that sell higher end electronics will usually have better selections.
Your best bet is to but Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Stay away from Nickel Cadmium (NiCAD) as they are really poor quality and very outdated compared to the other options.
When I was your age, rechargeable batteries were just about useless for portable electronics. Now, we have GREAT options to choose from and they are also very inexpensive.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
