Right, exactly.

That said, having a couple 2xAA to D adapters laying around is still not
that bad an idea for emergencies as it seems that AA cells are the most
common type, so if/when you run out of D's you can scrounge cells out of
remotes, small flashlights, cordless phones, etc. and use your
D-cell-powered device for a little while at least.
