One or more batteries are packaged in a transparent plastic tube having opposite end caps, one of which having an integral foldable handle for hanging the tube on a display rack. The batteries are positioned within the tube by a spacer member adapted for the particularly shape of the battery when other than “D”size cells are being sold. The assemblage is covered and held together by a transparent shrink wrap which has an opaque portion printed about a semi-circumference thereof leaving a window through which a consumer can see the batteries being purchased. Once the shrink wrap is removed, the remainder can be used to store those batteries which are not immediately put into use or as a recycling mailer for returning batteries which are recyclable.
