Do you own a C-Cell flashlight?
My kid gave me a cool Camo LED flashlight for Xmas 2015 and the old batteries
have finally gotten too weak to be useful.. (They weren't even alkaline cells). Since I use a lot of rechargeable nimh AA cells, I decided to use those in my 2 C-Cell flashlight. So, I was about to order some plastic adapters, when I started reading the reviews.. Some were not good.. So, I used the plastic nozzle parts off an old CPAP mask hose and made two AA battery holders. AA cells work great in this low current application.. I think you could roll up thin cardboard around AA cells, to form an adapter for C cell flashlights.. Even if you are going to use plain AA alkaline cells to replace larger C-cells, it might be worth your time. C-cells prices are going out of sight.. AA cells are pretty good for low current LED lights.. Cheers, Rich
