Old Style/New Tech

  1. I don't have much that requires D batteries any more, the 3 cell MagLite under the drivers seat in the RV is it as far as I can remember.

  2. Weird thing I noticed a while back: AA and C size NiMH cells have same Ah capacity. Not sure why. I think I found a catalog listing for D size with similar Ah, but I've never seen them in the wild. You can get little adapter/holder thingies to use AA batteries in place of C or D, making this light rechargeable. Most things don't fuss about the lower voltage.
