The present invention relates to adhesive-based battery isolation systems and methods of use. Embodiments of the present invention include utilizing one or more adhesive members to electrically isolate a used battery or electrical storage device such that it may be positioned back within an open package for storage without exposure to moisture. One embodiment of the present invention relates to an electrical storage and isolation system including an electrical storage device, a storage compartment, and at least one adhesive member. The storage compartment may be any form of storage compartment with a releasable opening such as conventional retail plastic package or a flexible retort type package. The system may include one or more adhesive members for use in electrically isolating an electrical storage device.

1. An electrical device storage and isolation system comprising: an electrical storage device configured to store electrical current;a storage compartment including a substantially enclosed internal region within a housing, wherein the electrical storage device is disposed within the internal region, and wherein the housing includes an exterior surface and a releasable opening to the internal region;at least one adhesive member including an adhesive surface and a non-adhesive surface oriented substantially opposite the adhesive surface, wherein the at least one adhesive member is releasably coupled to the exterior surface of the storage compartment via the adhesive surface such that the non-adhesive surface is externally exposed, and wherein the at least one adhesive member is disposed entirely within a two dimensional area of the exterior surface, and wherein the releasable opening to the internal region is positionally independent of the at least one adhesive member; andwherein the adhesive surface of the adhesive member is flexible and two dimensionally sized such that the adhesive surface is capable of three dimensionally enclosing and sealing the electrical storage device against a supportive surface, wherein the supportive surface includes at least one of a second adhesive member and the exterior surface of the storage compartment. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the adhesive member includes a chemical adhesion agent. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the capable sealing between the adhesive surface and the supportive surface includes a three dimensional water tight seal and thereby forms an internal region having a volume larger than the electrical storage device. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the adhesive surface and the supportive surface are electrically non-conductive. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the electrical storage device is a battery further including a positive terminal region and a negative terminal region. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one adhesive member includes two adhesive members each including an adhesive surface and a non-adhesive surface, and wherein the supportive surface is the adhesive surface of the second adhesive member. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the internal region of the storage compartment is sized to substantially enclose the two adhesive members and the electrical storage device in a used configuration.
