An example shipping container includes a base defining a cavity, a lid to be coupled to a top of the base to substantially seal the cavity, and an absorbent pad disposed within the cavity to absorb liquid from the battery if the battery leaks.

A battery package includes a card, a cover, a tray, and batteries. The cover is attached to the card and includes a door and an opening formed in the front of the cover and the peripheral edge of the cover. The door is movable between an open position to provide access to the opening and a closed position. The tray is positioned between the card and the cover and includes multiple receptacles. Each battery is positioned within one of the receptacles. The card includes a recess in the outer edge of the card at a battery removal position. The tray is movable relative to the card and the cover to selectively align one of the receptacles with the opening in the battery removal position. With the door in the open position, the battery in the receptacle in the battery removal position is accessible through the opening.
