Noted. Thanks.
Of course, in most sets, you can't simply add a couple more batteries.

It depends on the battery case layout.
e.g. a series pair of AA can be substituted with 3 x 2/3rd AA

and C cells can be had in 2/3 3/5, etc. sizes

I know that 'shortened' battery sizes exist, but I've never used them
myself. As they are non-standard, they are not so readily-available, and
(although I haven't checked yet), guess that they are more expensive.
