D cell battery adapters

Spotted these as I was looking for rechargeable D cells for my flashguns, basically a tube with contacts at one end, into which you slide an AA battery and then load the whole thing into your kit as normal.

4 AA NiMHs gave 80 full power flashes in my flashgun, and a pair of half charged AA NiMHs ran a 2xD cell torch for well over two hours. Best of all, a pair of adapters cost £1.59 from www.battery-force.co.uk, delivered next day.

Why ?
Did you have difficulty finding rechargable "D" cells?

No doubt Blue Peter could tell you how you could make them from toilet rolls and sticky back plastic.
