Now I'm thinking rubber bands and aluminum foil could be
all that one needs. I will eventually try it.

Not sure if this thread is dead or not, but I just visited this site and it is now down to $9.95. Same price for either SERIES or PARALLEL. Price goes down for bulk buying. Plus shipping, though it was not that bad (like, $3 for super saver shipping for me).Ugg WHY is it so expensive!? The description doesn't even say made from the best grade metals to minimize resistance, or anything justifying the price tag. I MIGHT pay $10 for it, but that would be my max.

I found this thread searching for adapters for some conversion projects I am thinking of.
I was wrong about the price it is $15

IMO is just too much for an adapter but they do look like decent quality.
The soshine ones don't really work to warn anyone wanting to purchase them. They're shorter than an actual D cell and dont make contact in three lights I've tried
Ok dimensionally they're actually just slightly longer. That being said they still don't work. You have to slap the back of the flashlight or shake it to get intermittent connection. Only works while you're hitting it. Not sure why as the cells make good contact inside and there is a positive nipple on them
These were mentioned on BLF last year at over twice the price. Just got them, and they seem like the holy grail - 3 parallel, solid construction, $2.30 each shipped in a 10 pack. Singles also available as well as yellow color from the same seller on the 'bay (fenggang18). Just search in his store for "parallel" and you will get the short list, he has a large inventory.
I received the 3 AA in parallel to D cell Chinese adapters last night.
@Hondo / @Richwouldnt -- did you have those shipped to the US and did you have to pay any import duties / taxes / charges?
Yes, to Michigan. No, just the $3 shipping, if memory serves.
I have never been charged duty on a China buy of any kind. As I recall the declared value has to be $200 or more before customs even begins to worry about import duties. MUCH more liberal in that respect than most of the world including the EEC.
Just check, it looks to be wired in series.http://www.gearbest.com/diy-parts-and-tools/pp_89760.html
