RoboCopy Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Random post but maybe of interest to some of you. I noticed that CVS D cells are about 1-2mm shorter than standard alkaline batteries. (See photo) Great for those more fragile plastic toys such as my M27 Moon Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I think the dollar store D cells are smaller as well, but I have not measured them. Good too know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerxc70 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 But the weight is still a problem, especially in Horikawa robots among others, also the burst of energy from alkaline batteries will shorten the life of vintage incondesent light bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yes Dollar Store D cells are smaller and weight less then Energizers great for most robots, however I only use D cell Energizers for MH plus other smokers which is needed for great smoke action.

Jonydroid Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I am using some rechargeble D type batteries, they are light weight and can have if you need lots of power. Thank you to share :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
