Another silly *NEWBIE* post...

Hi Guys,

I've have a question that's been wandering in the back of my mind for a long time now (this is a newbie Q, so be warned)...


What is the difference between a 3xAA (or even a 4xAA adaptor), and a regular D cell? From all the mag mods, and people wanting to switch to 9AA to 3D adaptors has had me thinking what precisely is the difference?

I thought it might have had something to do with voltage, or amperage... but now, I'm not so sure. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif

Can anyone help out a clueless flashaholic?

they are in series in those adapters, so effectively you get 3.8v (NiMH cells) to 4.5v (alkaline) from 1 D cell space.
This allows the use of more powerfull and brighter bulbs in a the same body.

Wow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks!
