Ownership verified by DX Turn AAA batteries into AA's
Posted by Nephiel on 3/22/2009
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: -Easy to use, just open it up, slip the battery in, and close it again.

Cons: -The metal piece can fall in if you aren't careful, and it's tricky to put it back in place.
-Slightly thicker than an AA battery, they might not fit every battery compartment.
-An AAA battery cannot supply as much current as an AA so these might not work depending on what you're trying to power with them.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: These are useful for do-it-yourself lovers (high-powered flashlights, RC-model planes, etc.)

Pros: They work.
They are cheap for an 8 pack.

Cons: They are a touch thicker than some of my AA rechargeables. Items which fit the battery tightly may not work with them.
Some of them are a little fussy to get open or closed around the battery.

Other Thoughts: Obviously you don't have the energy capacity of a AA. When getting a device going now is more important than how long it will last, these are great.

Bottomline: They have saved me twice when I had AAA charged and needed a AA battery. Worth what I paid already. I keep a stash of them in the bag with my soshine emergency power charger (sku 3205) so I can pull the batteries for other uses.

Ownership verified by DX does the job but watch out with flashlights

Pros: does indeed transforms a AAA into a AA size battery.
the latest ones shipped arre the ones made out of transparent plastic
they have a spring inside which i like instead of an open bottom. this because i use them for 10440 batteries
10440 batteries have a bit of platic on the bottom so with these converters you do not have any problems

Cons: diameter is a bit more then regular AA so these will not fit any flashlight i think
the inside of the + pole is indeed partially covered with plastic
looks like a production error but can be removed easilly.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: if you need these for NON flashlight related stuff buy them
otherwise they will not fit

Pros: - Cheap.
- Transparent plastic.
- An AAA battery with this adapter is a few grams lighter than an standard AA battery.

Cons: - As a previous reviewer mentioned there is a thin layer of plastic on the positive contact which needs to be scraped off using a long needle or something. 7 of the 8 adapters I received had this problem.
- Brittle plastic, minor cracks visible that will probably get worse with use.
- The two parts of the adapter spring apart easily, some are looser than others.
- Diameter of adapter is slightly greater than standard AA batteries and the sides of the adapter are not parallel, hence these may not fit all devices.

Other Thoughts: - The design of these adapters has changed (see latest customer images). The previous design (DX images) looks like it was better quality.
- Buy more than you need as some may not be up to scratch.

Bottomline: - Good for rechargeable AAA batteries which don't have to be removed very often or at all, e.g. DECT phones, rechargeable cordless mice etc.
