I have a AA dummy I made from a solid aluminum rod, it's crude but is the same lenth as a AA battery and has the nipple. Pm me if you want it, I don't need it and you can have it shipped for free.

You can also try PMing ViReN if you need more. That's who I got one from a little while ago. He said he could make more.

Thanks, lasercrazy. It has arrived safely. Very nicely done, did you make it yourself?
Marcspar - I guess a dead cell would do in a pinch, but it still has some internal resistance, and would also probably end up doing something nasty like leaking after the reverse charging it would receive.
I am using it in a Mag2HID. With the Batterystation lithiums starting at 1.9v no load, 8 of them would be too much for the ballast. 7 would be fine. Unfortunately, the BS lithium AA cells don't handle the current well at all, and could not supply the 1 amp or so needed at 12 volts. I'll have to get some of the (expensive) Energizer L91 cells and try them instead.

Nope.
Dead or not, batteries have resistance.

Yep, that was the first dummy battery I ever made. Came out ok to my surprise.
I have another that I made a few days ago if you want it. It's much nicer than that one.
