Looking for some AA Gadgets

Off-topic Chatter
1

Recently I have been buying a lot of AA batteries because I cant pass up a good deal.

Not counting rechargeables I have bought recently.. 20 x VARTA alkaline, 16 x Dick Smith alkaline, 4 Energizer Ultimate Lithium, 10 Energizer Advance Lithium, 20 OEM Energizer Ultimate lithium.

But the problem is the only thing I have that takes AA batteries my Jetbeam PA40 (I have eneloops for this).

I cant think of anything useful that I should buy to make use of some AAs.

Anyone want to make some recommendations?

Off the top of my head, how about a mini-mag?

3

What about a Fenix TK41?

4

Both great choices. How about a SB Caveman?

Sorry I should have said not flashlights, I have some that take AA's but I use 14500's.

I have more than enough flashlights and rarely use them at all, I am looking for something else that I can use AA's in that will be useful.

Oh, my wife has one of those, She LOVES it! Uses it all the time, she does. Hours and hours of fun. She feels it was money well spent and a real crowd pleaser.

Battery powered salt and pepper grinders. I love mine and they chew through alkalines. 4 aa's in each one.

Okay, but do you have anything that requires "D" cell batteries, say like a boom-box or something or battery powered fan for summer time? If so, you can purchase these 3 x "AA" to "D" cell converters.

A Canon or Fuji digitial camera. A Syma S107 RC helicopter takes 6x AAs in the controller. Also easy to fly (indoors only!) and a lot of fun. You can get a full kit with the helicopter, controller, and a spare set of blades for about $26 from Amazon.

Worklamp or emergency car torch with swivel head and magnet?

Things we currently use that run on AA's.

Pocket fan, all of my wall clocks, electric shaver (Shaveman!), trimmer, toothbrush, compact camera, round click lights, most of my kids toys and educational contraptions, our toys , a dancing santa and a couple remotes.

Still looking, bought a Wii (for $50) and electric toothbrush.

Thinking about a digital SLR camera, but its pretty expensive and I'd prefer cheaper things.

Anything else?
