Good Batteries / Bad Batteries Storage Help?

[XMA]

Hello, so id like some opinions on how I store my batteries. as u can see in the blue bottle I store my dead batteries, that are 1.3v or under but output around nothing in amps."I measure with a multimeter", in the plastic container I store good batteries. so im wondering if my way of storing the dead batteries is bad? as they might touch each other's contacts resulting in a short circuit or so.

Your bad batteries produce very low current so they cannot cause damage from too much current.
Their contacts on each end are impossible to short-circuit anyway.
The bad batteries might leak their chemicals. Get rid of them soon.

I store my old batteries in a zip lock bag and they end up jumbled around, just like your bottle.  Periodically, I take it down to Aldi, where they have a battery recycle bin and just empty it into there.  What's inside that bin makes your collection and my collection trivial - yet I know of no issues doing that.

Without the ability to deliver notable current, there's no electrical issue.

Leaking chemistry, however, could become messy.  Find yourself a battery recycle/dropoff centre and get rid of them.
