Guessing insides of cheapo C and D are a AA jammed inside of them….
My wife got them at an antique place (birthday) - she knows I’m an oil geek and have a few old cans and signs etc, etc, too …Do you really have those oil bottles in your profile picture, or did you just find the picture on the internet? Those are cool! I'd like to have those!
So far so good. I don’t use it a lot. Keep it in my truck just in case, worked the other day when I needed it.Looking into one of them now!!
How is it holding up for you though?
This is an odd choice for a flashlight made today. Rechargeable flashlights have been fairly standard for a number of years.I recently purchased this flashlight from Harbor Freight. It is an excellent flashlight for the money. It has both a "HIGH" setting, as well as a "LOW" setting. And it also has a, "SOS Strobe" setting. It is extremely bright and well made.
The only "problem" is, it takes 12, AA batteries in a removable pack. It could have been easier, (and most likely cheaper), if it had been designed to take 3 or 4 "C Cell" batteries. Or even multiple, "D Cells".
Does anyone know what is the purpose is of having so many smaller AA Cells? I would think it would last longer with the larger cells. Or is it a voltage issue of some type?

Not really as you can build use off shelf battery pack that is either cheaply supplied AA batteries or have add rechargeable pack, circuits and related charger to your product.This is an odd choice for a flashlight made today.

OMG! It's the radio from Gilligan's Island!Both my Zenith portable radios use D batterys. The Trans Oceanantic uses 6 D cells and the AM Royal also uses 6 D cells. They usually last two to three years.
Both radios have qxcellent sound and have such a nice feel to them. Very smooth without any static.

That's when radios were decent. It will play with those D-cells forever. Beats a phone and ear buds.OMG! It's the radio from Gilligan's Island!
What kind of bulb?I still have a vintage 6-volt lantern that uses the old 918 battery. The beam is pretty weak; maybe it's running the wrong sealed beam?
I can't recall what number bulb it is. I do know it's a PAR36 pencil beam.What kind of bulb?
