I have been using only Eneloop AAs in my flashlights the past year until I finally upgraded to 18650s. So now I have lots of eneloops lying around and some useful D cell powered lanterns like the Rayovac Sportsman Extreme.
I have found some AA to D cell adapters online but reviews are negative in that they are cheaply made and don't always work correctly. There are even some negative reviews of the fitment of the eneloop brand AA to D cell adapter, as the batteries don't always fit correctly. I don't like the idea of one AA in the adapter anyway.
From a little more research here, if the D adapter runs the AA cells in parallel (all +s together, all -s together), rather than in series (- of one cell to + of the next), the parallel config is more ideal correct? So series boosts voltage while parallel boosts capacity?
I would want a good reliable quality three AA to D cell adapter that would run the AAs in a parallel config (if I'm correct in the above). What should I get?
