    Need a D-Cell recomendation

    I'm looking at an MH-C9000 with a 12v pigtail. For my cabin I plan to install a small (probably 50w) solar panel and a 12v battery (an older car battery, my needs are modest) which will provide for the charger and the light/fan on our range hood, gotta have a range hood when you cook bacon...

    Need a D-Cell recomendation

    Oooh, I like the sound of this, 90 minutes would be plenty of run time for me. I've got a fluorescent light over my bed in my cabin that also uses D cells and I bet it'd run for a good long time, its not as hard on batteries as the MagLight is...

    Something for reading in bed

    Thanks folks, that helps a lot, you've given me plenty to think about. We've got a couple of those including one my wife uses to read, the ones we have use a little incandescent, they throw okay light but are some hard on batteries. My mother is the queen of book lights, I bet she has half of...

    Now you've got me rethinking again. I priced up the Tenergy charger and 4 of the LSD batteries on Amazon for $63 with free shipping through Amazon prime. Maybe the Tenergy charger can do better with my cheap batteries than the cheapo Energizer chargers are.

    Something for reading in bed

    I've got a cabin back in the woods and I need a light for reading in bed. My current light uses D-cells and rechargables are expensive... I don't like using a headlamp so thats out. My current light is similar to: amazon Energizer-R-Folding-Fluorescent-Lantern but an older model. I put aluminum...

    Need a D-Cell recomendation

    I hear you on the cost thing, the rechargables will pay for themselves eventually but it'll be a long payback for sure. I'd also thought about a large battery conversion for the shower, I've actually got another idea for that, I'm going to mount my water in a tank above the shower so gravity...

    Need a D-Cell recomendation

    Or probably I need a D-Cell confirmation... I've been into rechargables for awhile and terribly disappointed, reading here I begin to understand why. The Energizer/Rayovac/Duracell/Cheapie no-name batteries I've been using have quick self discharge and just don't seem to work out. I'd thought it...
