Now you only have 4.8V from 4 cells, so you are drawing closer to 2.5A. They don't even test their batteries at 2.5A, and those are high quality batteries. Lower quality dollar store types ones will be much, much worse. | |

| Apr 23, 2014 at 17:44 | comment | added | Kamil | Wikipedia says, that Alkaline D have 12-18Ah capacity. In worst case - I will drain no more than 0.2C current. It's this really bad? And I will probably put 7-8 Watt lamp in there. 10W was just initial idea. | |
