The problem with the Eneloop AA-to-D adapters is they only take 1 AA cell. Better adapters can take up to 3 AA cells:
It's easy to make your own adapters just with rolled-up paper tubes and some tape. If your device has a little extra space, it's even possible to pack 4 AA cells in the space of 1 D cell.
He means to use these batteries and these converters.
Normally I'd make the case for rechargeable AA cells but those get very expensive for occasional use electric candles.
That is an interesting thought. For my lights that take 3 cells, I was thinking of getting several of these battery holders so that i could run eneloops in parallel and wire them to the lights. In a setup like this, I wonder if it would be worth putting an inline fuse between the packs and the light just for added safety? Or maybe there is a better strategy other than linking together battery holders.
Edit: If I'm wiring in battery holders, I suppose I could also just go with 3 D cells in a holder like this instead of bothering with AAs in parallel.
Edit2: One last crazy option came to mind. I could wire a 3 D cell holder to the lights, and then use 3 of these AA to D cell converters to use my existing Eneloops in parallel.
