Ok, I'm beyond confused now.
I have a wonderful LED flashlight designed for 3 1.5v AAA's. It just doesn't last long. I thought I'd try fitting in 4 NiMH AAA's into the same housing (AAA + AAA + 1/2 AAA + 1/2 AAA with the half heights stacked) for a total of 4.8v.
Yes, I'll be slightly overvolting the SMD.
I've discovered that half-height AAA's seem to be for sale from a (boat) dock lighting company, and are listed in the all-batteries size chart.
1. Will my idea "work"? (I'll charge the two 1/2 heights in two slots by themselves in a 4 slot charger with a home-made extender to have it reach the electrodes.
2. Does a 1/2 height 1.2v NiMH actually exist? I see conflicting views of this online.
THANKS!
