Thyrm CellVault XL Battery Storage Case for AA, AAA, CR123, 18650 Batteries, Survival Gear, Made in USA

This is the third Thyrm CellVault I’ve purchased in 4 years. The other two is a XL and the smaller single stack. The first two I mounted on my tac gear while as a LE with the feds. Had the XL on my ballistic vest plate carrier and the single stack one on my platform belt. I usually kept CR123, AA, and AAA batteries handy because, running out of juice right before an op is tactically bad. I always had multiple sources of flashlights whether mounted on firearms or handheld types. Always checked that they were functioning and bright. On more than a few occasions I had to swap out batteries or “loan” some to fellow teammates. Never got those batteries back lol. I’m retired now but during the 2 years I had the Thyrm CellVaults in use while in the wild-wild west, I never had a wet battery nor have the case deploy accidentally even after getting into a scuffle with a wanted perp we were arresting. Now, do I believe the CellVault could accidentally open while mounted to gear? Absolutely but, things do happen and one needs to be thoughtful with placement of any gear or device on their person. This thing has come in extremely handy on more than a few occasions and I keep a couple on my now post retirement tactical if SHTF gear and my hiking gear, which the photo shows mounted on a first aid pouch I carry while hiking. I mounted it towards my front since I would most likely fall backwards and I used a little rubber band to help keep it from popping open completely if I fall just right (see photo). I believe the little loop hole at the bottom was designed so you can secure it better but who knows? I keep spare rubber bands in my pouch along with extra Ranger bands in various sizes for the occasional breakage or it flew off and disappeared amongst the dry leaves. I hate that when it happens lol. Personally I think the Thyrm CellVault is about $10s overpriced but, at least it’s not a fake knockoff. If they dropped the price about 30-35 percent, I think they’ll gain more customers and put a hurting to the fraudsters but, what do I know, I’m just a simple guy giving them good reviews lol. Be safe out there…

I was initially surprised by the actual size of the thing as I was expecting it to be a bit bigger than it actually was but that's by no means a bad thing.I did a few tests just to see how it functions and it will lock securely shut and keep it's contents dry but I wouldn't try to keep it submerged for an extended period of time.One small thing I did notice is at least with AAA batteries is they will still rattle around inside and create minimal noise unless you were to stuff something like cotton balls or balled up pieces of cloth to completely eliminate any noise and further ensure that the contents stay dry.

These are somewhat expensive for what they are, but it’s definitely a worthwhile piece of storage if you’re wanting something small to keep on your kit for some additional battery storage. I have one on my plate carrier now offset to my magazine pouches and its small enough that it’s out of the way, but easily accessible if I need to swap batteries on the fly. It’s perfect for that, the orange spacer was useless in my experience, probably just because I use 18650 and cr123 batteries. That said, I highly recommend these, it’s a better solution than taping batteries or having them loose in a pouch, ziplock or pack.

Super handy for battery storage in the military. CR 123s and AAs are a necessity out in the field and I was looking for a solution to keep extra batteries but didn’t need a whole pelican case worth of spares. This fit the bill and keeps the batteries out of the elements with a O-ring to seal it off. Clip it to a vest, belt, bag etc. Pro-tip carry some cotton balls inside and use electrical tape to cover the ends of your batteries so they don’t discharge any of their power.

This battery capsule is everything that it says it is. I can fit one 18650, two AA's and a C123a with a bit of wiggle room, I would like there to be a way to stop the batteries from rattling because noise in some cases is important, I put a few tiny pieces of paper towels on the sides and top to keep it from clanging together.

I love these cell vaults. I am always finding new ways to use them a very versatile product. The 29.99 price tag is little steep for a large size. Thyrm does not offer any combos; for example the 29.99 price you should get one extra large and original size in package. They should offer the cell vaults in pairs. They are weather proof, dust proof and I have no water leakage. The cell vaults come in several colors but no camo styles yet. The cell vaults are pretty durable. The plastic appears to become a little brittle in cold temps so beware that during the winter or if live in a cold climate that if you drop the unit it could become damaged. I will have to further test this theory out in coming months.

This is a great product for gear junkies and tactical junkies. This is an amazing accessory for your pack. Its a must have for those who need back up power. This provides a dry storage for your batteries. I like the XL because you can get more in the cantaner. This is a must have highly recommended. High quality well worth the price. You will not be disappointed.

Seems like it’s very well built.

Very happy with this

Arrived from the USA promptly and as described, although it is a very complicated way to store simple AA and AAA batteries. Unless you need to add this to molle perhaps seek a cheaper option/alternative?

Nice product

Cool, innovative product. Will hold batteries securely or other small items. Only thing I do not like is how the Molle clip is attached to the lid so access to the items is screwey. Only other thing I suggest is putting it on upside Down I. The molle webbing

Quality product, but a bit too pricey for what it is.
