I need D size rechargeable batteries. I don't know how well the D adapters that use AA batteries work, so I am confused about which would be the best to get for the price. I will need to use 4 D batteries for a flashlight. So, what is best? Where can I get the best deal?
anyone?
Get the D rechargeable. Top-rated AAs have 2000-3000mAH, whereas Ds go up to 8000-12000mAH. The big guys last much longer with 4X capacity.
The one exception is that if the batteries sit for a long while between uses, it might make sense to go with Eneloop AAs with adapter, which keep the charge much longer.
Amazon and Thomasdistributing (http://www.thomas-distributing.com/index.htm) are good places to buy.
