You can tell by the weight of a rechargable D-cell if it's really a

buy real rechargable D-cells but they're expensive. I have some
Panasonic D-cell NiCd's that cost about $12.00 each. They have a
capacity of 5000-mah. They're about five years old and still going
strong.



5000 mah? Impressive. Not even the curmudgeon 'Ace' could call that
limp wristed.

I got the high capacity Panasonic D-cells primarily for a bicycle light
system. It uses five of them in series for 6-volts. They will power a
ten watt headlight for about three hours. In the off season I use them
for other things.
