You are misunderstanding my post, remember that I talked about all this on a past thread when I was introducing you to the Tenergy D batteries and informing you on rechargeables and adapters.
I didn’t say that solar can’t charge D batteries, solar can power the whole house and AC if there is enough of it, what I said was “”A D battery can be 10,000MaH and would never charge on a small solar charger that can handle 2000MaH AAs, and 800MaH AAAs.””
As far as adapters they can hold 2 AAs or even 3AAs, or as I have posted to you before.

The AAA to AA are not to REPLACE the AA, it is to give you depth and options if you need it, for instance if you don’t have any AAs.
The AA to D adapters do the same thing, you can make D powered devices work, if AAs are all that you have.
Don’t under estimate that, I use adapters that use 2 AAs in a D adapter, that gives me about 5000 Mahs per adapter to replace a 10 to 11,000 Mah D battery, I have to recharge more often, but it works fine.
If you want to spend the money, buy some Tenergy 10,000mah Ds, or Maha POWEREX 11,000mah Ds.
Figure out if you need to invest in those batteries and make them a part of your life and long term plans and maintenance and replacement, or if those devices need to be sold off and replaced.
Don’t chase the appliance by searching for the battery, let the batteries help you decide which appliance to buy.

I use AA, AAA, and high powered Ds and that’s what I have to have after a hurricane comes through here. I already have these excellent new batteries in all those sizes. I have a couple of D shells I bought to see what they were and they only take one AA in them and that’s worthless. The rechargeable Ds sold in regular stores are also worthless.
If you read the comments of customers who bought these regular brand name Ds, they didn’t know they had Ds with practically no power in them and they were stuck with these inferior batteries.
I studied batteries on my own for months before I ever talked to you. You have your batteries that work for you and I have mine that work for me. To each his own.
