These are the biggest capacity standard batteries I've ever seen. They
test actually OVER 11 ampere-hour. That's a LOT of power in a 'D' cell
rechargeable! Most manufacturers, like the Bunny Battery Company, put an
AA cell in a plastic 'D' cell case, a ripoff!

Two of these 1.2V beasts is $28 from this distributor and will recharge
over 1000 times (Ni-Mh).

Now, if we were to make a custom BELT out of 3 these 'D' beasts and put a
little FruitFone connector on a tiny cord to the belt, we might JUST have a
decent long-running 3G! With this much battery, it may improve the
transmitter, too...(c;

My best quickcharger is gonna have a heart attack from running all night to
pull up these beasts....hee hee.

The 'C' batteries are 5 AH! The AAA are 800 mAH!

POWER is our FRIEND!

I'd go with
"http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2162".

"Only" 10,000 mAH, but 2 for $16 rather than 2 for $29 for the 11,000 mAH.

I've bought their C cells and they're fine, though I don't have a
charger that can measure capacity.

There are 10AH Ni-Mh 'D' cells for under $10 on that website I quoted.
Lots of cellphone batteries at really cheap prices, too! They have the Li-
Polymer battery BP-5L for the N800 Linux tablet for $12!

And you learned this how?

I'm not aware of anyone using AA's in D-cell cases, but for many years, it
was common for rechargable D's to contain C cells inside with spacers to
hold them in place. The mAH rating for those D cells was the same as the
C's, (as was the price, so you really weren't being "cheated.")

There are a lot of very low capacity D cells on the market, but I doubt
if they would bother to do the spacer thing.

Wow. I used to buy 4.0 AH Ni-Cad Ds at Radio Shack in the 90's for $6
each.

On the other hand, I don't even own a rechargable D cell anymore. My oft-
used, high-drain, devices either use proprietary batteries (cameras,
cellphones, etc.) or AAs. My D-powered devices (flashlights, boom-boxes)
are used so seldom, or in emergencies (power failures, etc.) that
disposables that don't require being recharged every few months even if not
used make more sense.

I guess I'll just buy some cheap AA-to-D converters fom Geeks.com if I ever
need rechargable D-cells- if that's good enough for Eveready, it's good
enough for me! ;-)

I remember those days well- my "formative years."

Actually the two loudest and best-sounding boom boxes I ever heard were a
Sharp and a Panasonic, both owned by guys who were very, very, white, and
very, very, gay.
