Tom, that is what I am doing. If that is correct, I am seeing voltage drops on the order of 100ths of volts on days where the temp is below zero F.
WOW, that's pretty outstanding! Makes me want to switch to these! But wait... they don't spec these to work below 0 degrees C! What's up? I sure wish they'd spec what these are 'supposed' to do in 'normal' outdoor cold conditions. -15F spec would be very useful.
1.2V is a problem unless I make a cylindrical battery holder that would hold three of them...
Wikipedia page states that early versions of their C and D cells were just that, three of the A type batteries in parallel.
Anybody seen a cylindrical 3xAAA holder???Nevermind, I just designed one to cut out on my CNC router!
Unless, of course, you HAVE seen a holder like this (in which case I'll buy instead of build)!
Thanks for the info.
Tom
