D Batteries In A Pinch
Your babies swing, bouncer, jumperoo quits working and they are screaming their heads off; meanwhile you are frantically digging thru your junk drawer looking for the 4th D battery you thought you had, but all you can find is C's. No worries, take a your C batteries put them in, but in between two of the batteries put a stack or quarters (so it is tight) and voila you have your D batteries.
D & C batteries have the same wattage they are just different sizes. This works for me

Get Out! :)
Wow!! That is one of the coolest tips. Ever! :)
Oh girl, I wish I would have known this during the baby swing days. Thanks for the info.
I never heard of such a thing, and it sure could have saved a lot of grief back when mine were little! From now on, if I have something that needs a fat battery (like a big flashlight), I'm going to remember this tip. You are beyond brilliant!
I never knew that. I am short one C battery today for my son's vacuum. Luckily, it died after we vacuumed. I will get some more at the store today.
I had no idea! What a clever idea.
Finding quarters is another matter... ;)
Wow, that's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
That is a wild tip!
Aluminum foil instead of the quarters works too :)
You were one of those curve setters in highschool, weren't cha?
Exellent tip.
