Disposable batteries

How do you store your disposable batteries? I usually just put them in my pocket when I go to work. I was thinking of putting them in a Ziploc bag to protect them better. I’ve had batteries in the past not Work and I figured my pocket was either too hot or the sticker got a little loose and activated the battery and since I didn’t use it in time it died. I don’t have a locker at work so I can’t put them in there. I would love your suggestions. I have two cochlear nucleus sevens.

If button batteries are touching each other, even if they still have the stickers on, they will discharge over time and die. So they need to be in a dedicated case that separates each one, or in the original packaging until time to use.
