Default Re: Sourcing batteries/cells thought to be obsolete.

I did see a lantern battery hack somewhere where they had D cells inside. If you ever find a Dorman road lamp cell, it's the same as a 6V 996 bit it's Alkaline Air. I took one apart to find four tray cells inside. The plastic trays had the black powder in with the electrolite paste in, it was like a jelly. Did not know that AAAAs were used in modern pen lights. They must be really slim.
