I tested my 64oz Ocean Spray bottles. They actually hold 67oz filled to the brim. I can squeeze out 7 oz of water, or 11% volume change, and have them satisfactorily hold their shape. They can withstand the expansion/contraction of any PCM. Interestingly, the bottles stayed collapsed where I squeezed them easier than they would collapse at the "panels" that were designed to flex. Even with that, they were nice and rigid at the perimeter.

At 2 or so per week personal use, it will take me a while to gather 400+ of them for the entire tank. I might find some neighbors that use products in similar bottles and ask them for theirs.
