Before I can upgrade to a rechargeable gel cell or a car battery, I'm stuck with alkaline.
According to a data sheet I have, alkaline D cells have a capacity of
20.5 Ah, whereas alkaline lantern batteries have a capacity of 18.0 Ah.Moreover, eight D cells are cheaper than two lantern batteries.
However, some earlier postings I've seen here on the matter recommended lantern batteries when converting to higher-current launchers. Is there any reason why I should go with lantern batteries (as opposed to D cells) that I'm not seeing?
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have on the matter.
