At home I keep all my batteries in an ammo box
The advantages:
1. It costs next to nothing - I got a nice one for 3 euros (2.5GBP).
2. It will protect the batteries from puncture, excessive pressure or damage to the wiring.
3. It's airtight, so if a fire does start at least it's cut off from a good supply of oxygen (though a Lithium fire may also require heat absorption to extinguish it properly).
4. It's watertight, so it's protected from changes in humidity or water leakage/spillage.
5. An ammo box looks so much cooler than a LiPo sack!
The only disadvantage I found is that I can't find one that has a compact size for storing 3-5 batteries - so I still have to put my batteries in a LiPo sack when I go to meetings.
