I just picked up a couple of "Dorcy FrostBrite" at Big Lots for $2.99 each. They come with 4 Neverready Heavy Duty batteries, but the real draw was that they use a battery holder that works as a 4AA to 1D adapter.
Doesn't fit in my M*G, but a nice fit in my Kohler-Bright Star 2D and my 70's Chrome RayOVac 3D. I'm running 8 NIMH AA's with a K18 Krypton 7.2V bulb in my 2D KBS and it's pretty cool (or hot as the case may be. Quick check with an amneter says I'm pushing about 9 watts.
I'll bet these holders have more resistance than the custom jobs, but at $3 each, they come with 2 more bodies dying for mods as well as decent (plastic) reflectors and kpr13 bulbs. I've already instaflashed a couple of bulbs by accident, but that's the price of progress.....
