My solution turned out to be modifying the actual D cell holder itself and not touching the battery adapters. I simply screwed in a couple of bolts with head sizes larger in area that the original positive terminals. Then, cut off the thread part of the bolt ends and sealed off with liquid electrical tape to offset any short possibility. Problem solved. By the way, some suggested using the right battery for the right job. To my knowledge, Eneloop doesn't make a D cell. Others do, but I only trust Eneloop. They do have multi AA to D adapters, but for the small amount of current drawn, I went with a single AA to D this time around. |

But there are many manufacturers as reliable and established as Panasonic that do not require you to indulge in a questionable exercise to adapt to the basic inadequacies of their designs. In addition, one does wonder what Panasonic would do in the case of a spectacular failure within the warranty period - would they perform, or not? After all, your adaptation did alter their design - under very nearly any scenario, that voids any warranty, expressed or implied. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-rechargeable-batteries/ https://reactual.com/portable-electronics/d-size-rechargeable-batteries.html https://www.ign.com/articles/best-rechargeable-batteries Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
