Advances in NiMH rechargeable
technology have enabled AA size batteries to now have enough capacity and
performance to replace your C and D size batteries and power your larger electronic devices.
The two main advantages
of these new battery adapters:
- Lower cost since AA size NiMH
batteries are significantly less expensive than purchasing separate C or D size NiMH batteries and charger.
- Lighter weight since 4 AA
batteries plus adapters weigh about the same as just 1 D size NiMH battery.
Manufacturer Limitations and
Cautions:
- Watch for the polarity.
- Don't use adapter while
charging.
- This product is for changing
size only...not increasing capacity.
- Don't mix the use of different
battery types such as Ni-Cd Alkaline etc.
Battery Adapter FAQ's
Can I use any brand AA battery
with these adapters?
Yes any standard size AA
battery should fit into the adapter.
Will my device run as long as
with regular D size batteries?
The adapter changes the size
of the battery to fit the D size slot but the power is limited to the capacity
of the AA batteries used. High capacity 2000 mAh and higher NiMH rechargeable AA
batteries have a lot of power for their size and compare favorably to the
performance of D size Alkaline batteries. Actual run times will vary
depending on the discharge rate of the device and number of batteries
used.
Are the adapters reusable?
Yes they are quite durable and
can be reused indefinitely.
How many adapters can I use
together?
As many as you like however
the run times will be limited to the total capacity of the AA batteries used vs.
the total capacity of the D batteries replaced.
How do I charge the batteries?
Snap the batteries out of the
adapters and charge normally in your AA battery charger and then snap the
charged batteries back into the adapters for use.
What is the warranty?
There is a 1 year
manufacturer's warranty against defects and the adapters can be returned within
30 days for a refund (less shipping) for any reason.
