Pros: - Works as advertised.- Will turn pretty much any D cell flashlight to a more common cheaper AA setup.- Takes two AA batteries.- The price is amazing.- Awesome build quality, Plastic does seem to be made pretty well.- Ideal for someone who wants to use this in D cell mag-lites. - Best converters on the market IMO.
Cons: - Maybe the latch quality because it does seem that it could break over time but hey these cost 2 US dollars.- Maybe an option to have different colors would be cool. - DX times ( About 5 weeks here to recieve in United States)
Other Thoughts: - I am running these in my 2D mag-lite. No problems here so far.
Bottomline: This is a great buy for anyone who wants to convert there D cell electronics to a AA source battery. These work well when using in a series as well. Very well recommended and works as advertised. Only two dollars!
Pros: I have opted to standardise my choice of battery, I've selected AA and AAA. Also I have a smart charger BC900, which only takes those two batteries. This and the C size convertor allow me to maintain a standard stock of AA's yet covers both C and D size, great buy.
Cons: None really, have had some jams will certain rechargeable batteries which are a little fatter than others and have gotten stuck, so far have always managed to get them unstuck, just something to mention for others.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: If you want to simplify your life a little, go with one battery size a good charger and these convertors, you won't go far wrong.
Pros: Works perfectly as advertised. I put batteries in, plug it into the D socket, it works. Albeit at a reduced life than a normal D but that is to be expected considering it is a AA inside.
Cons: None really. I did rate the build quality only a 4 since afterall it is just cheap plastic but I would prefer this over a more expensive solution.
Other Thoughts: I need D size for my motorized lid trash can and the first set of disposable batteries lasted about 6 months. Even if I get 2 months with AA and these converters I will be very happy. Just something to power the lid and allow me to recharge every once in a great while. Perfect invention.
Bottomline: This is a great and clever device that saves me a ton of money in buying either disposable D batteries or rechargeable ones. I can't stomach buying one-off sizes when I have several dozen rechargeable AA's lying around and just begging to be put to good use.
Pros: The open space in the case is pretty small, i have tested with them Sanyo eneloop, energizer mah2500 and some other batteries, and you have to push them in all the way into case. Removing them you need to use your fingernails but not to bad. The flap looks cheap but it does fit a 14500 battery!!!!!!!!
Cons: The flap might break holding the battery in but for the price i cant really complain.
Other Thoughts: This is used in a mag light and worked very well for what i want.
Bottomline: D rechargeable batteries are hard to find and expensive and holds about what a AA does. So use this to make up for it, saves me money!
