Hello folks. I've read a little bit about folks using AA batteries where C and D batteries are supposed to be used. I see people asking questions like where to get an 8AA to 2D holder and statements about using 8AA to replace 6C cells. I wonder how you do this, and if maybe some of you can show pictures of how you do it.
Right now, as an example only, we have a baby swing that uses four C batteries. I put 1AA battery into a NexCell C cell adaptor and put four of them in the swing and it seems to work fine. Now I know the batteries won't last nearly as long as a C cell... but I am using the same setup with a toy that uses four D cell batteries.
I also realize that using four AA cells provides only 4.8V to the toy where 4 C cells provides 6V. So am I hurting anything by doing this?
Ultimately I'm trying to use AA rechargables (eneloops) in anything and everything I can (including my Fenix L1T and L2T just to keep this post somewhat on topic )
