Waterproof seal to store torch batteries ?

[STATUE]

Just one example, I need to store 6 X LR20 batteries (They're your common or garden torch batteries).
The previous set got knock about so much in the tupperware box that eventually all the clingfilm came off each of them.
I seem to remember (or dreamed) of a procedure of dipping them in a rubber solution. Only requiring a knife to cut the rubber away when battery is needed.

Was I dreaming ?

A bit of bubblewrap in the Tupperware box?

There are peelable encapsulating compounds made for the electronics industry.

Blu-tack it into the tupperware box. We always have a couple sheets of the stuff in the galley drawer, because it has so many uses on boats. Stopping things from sliding or clanging around, putting notes on the wall, pushing it into a place you can't see to get a mould of something, quick leak fix, etc.

Ziploc bag and rubber band.

This one just for ref as I don't remember the diameter of the batteries, I keep a pack of 6 1865’s individually heat shrunk then top and bottom sealed with electrician tape,
Then tape around the 6 and a neat pack to keep anywhere and almost completely water proof. (if not completely)

PVC pipe - foam at each end - cut to size.

Cap the ends.

I've got a rather natty little box with compartments sized to take five common batteries. Came from Halfords iirc full of batteries, just stock up as required. Stowed behind the settee cushions where it doesn't get wet. Then again, we seem to go through batteries quite quickly so the stock never seems to have time to deteriorate.

Peli Case.

I am struggling to understand the issue here. If you boat is so wet that you cannot find a container waterproof enough to store a few batteries long term why don't you just take them with you each time in a waterproof container. We liveaboard and keep batteries in their original cardboard packaging and don't have the problems that you seem to have?

The industry standard is Crocell, but that is quite expensive but can be reused. There are others so try Cromwell tools as I think they have a cheaper own brand under the Kennedy label .
