Suggestions for how to store dead batteries that might leak?

General

I’m looking for a shatter resistant container that I can use to store dead batteries like AAs, C-cells, and 2032 coin cells.

I’m looking for something that is somewhat acid/alkali resistant. I want something that won’t have the bottom melt out of it if some of the batteries leak.

I wouldn’t be using this to store any sort of lithium batteries, due to the fire risk.

Does anyone have a suggestion for what sort of container (probably plastic) would work well for this? Maybe HDPE?
