I use a different compartment in the camera bag, charged batteries in one
compartment, flat in another.

Subject: [OM] m.4/3 battery covers
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?
