I keep the plastic covers on my batteries when they are not in the cameras. I use a 1dx and a 1d4 and simply turn the securing screw 90 degrees so that it is not flush with the battery after use, and then turn it flush after charging. If I were to use any LP-E6 batteries I would use this method…

Flipping the way you attach the cover reveals either a bright blue battery shape or a black/gray battery shape. I hope this helps.
I use the same method for the LP-E6 battery as described.
However, most is solved the last year by having 2 places in my backpack. One for the loaded, the other for the unloaded batteries (LP-6E, 1Dx, AA, AAA). So when arriving I home, no need to think, just empty the unload part the backpack and place them all on the chargers.
