Re: To avoid that, I think you need this:

I have the same case. It's great. I just lock the card, and turn it backwards when full.

Locking the card is a good plan, but the trouble with the simple 'turn it backwards when full method' (which I confess was the first thing that came to my mind as well), is that if you have a couple of cards come loose from both sides, the 'full' and 'empty' loose ones are now facing the same way!

But some will be locked, others not. A bit extra time needed to stare at a card but all is not lost.

Want to know what my final solution was?

(apart from never swap cards in the first place!!)

With large capacity cards now, this is very practical. I am using 64 GB cards as if they are 32 GB so there is no need to swap cards given the limited quantity I do per session. I suppose for very heavy workers, 128 GB should be sufficient to burn off tens batteries with.

Differentiating  spent and ready batteries - are there batteries that indicate their states visually?
