If you stand up a AA battery in this, will the lid still close, or is it JUST too tall?

No, it won't. The depth from the lid to the bottom will not hold a AA straight up and down.

The lid will close if one AA battery is at a slight angle when resting in a compartment. If the battery is standing staight up the lid will not close. I tested this myself.

I had trouble with swapping the battery. I think I had two batteries of the right size, pried this open just fine, but once I FORCED the two batteries in, they were too tall (by the tiniest amount) and were constantly pressing on the chip's button. Has anyone run into that? I'll see if I can find those batteries that didn't fit and double-check their type.

I do have problem in getting battery door to close. Not sure I'm doing wrong and it's a defect one.

Yes...Yes, it stays up, you need to tighten the screws to adjust how easy or hard it is to stay open. If it is loose, the lid will fall down. If it's too tight, you won't be able to open it. Once it's configured, it works great. Over time, you might need to readjust it b/c it might loosen.

No, it won't stand on its own. I have had mine for quite a while and have only had to change the batteries once - used on a music stand.

With the batteries vertical it will take up 2 3/4 inches. It will hold all batteries, however, the AA size are the tightest fit. The batteries swell a little when charged and do not fit as well. Have just the bottom third of the battery (AA) in the pocket, but still not quite as high as the D cells. The 2 3/4 measurement still holds. Would have liked to see one more row of D cells.DoC

Yes AA should fit. I've thought about replacing my batteries with newer batteries.

I couldnt find a tape measure or a ruler anywhere, but I saw a AA battery and it comes to just the first thread of where the lid screws on. Wierd answer..but I know everyone has an AA battery around. So just over 2 inches tall. Love these by the way. Pretty jars.

No. If you open it all the way, the lid will stay open. Great little safe, I am glad I purchased it, easy to instal, easy to use.

Wow, I doubt it. I use my drawers for AA and AAA batteries...Not much bigger than that!

Too tight a fit to be useful. I'd say no. You may want to buy the battery manufacturers horizontal case instead.

The battery and cover is a tight fit... you have to ensure the cover secure around the entire edge of the case. I found after removing and replacing the cover several times the cover doesn't remain tight and requires additional and specific pressure around the entire edge of the case to close it tightly and completely.

The cover stays closed primarily through structure and weight. I really have not had a problem with it staying closed. There is a magnet in the cover to attach to the back for standing the Galaxy up.

I agree with "fish man". It will hold the lid open, but you have to push down to close it.

we use rechargeable AA in there all the time and have no problem. This is our second one. They tore the first one apart. They lve that thing

In my experience, the lid shuts fine, but you do have to make sure you hear it "snap" closed all the way.

We can get the battery snapped in but there is a white plastic piece on the lid that won't allow it to close. Are we supposed to break it off?
