I dont think I've ever seen any consumer appliance that runs on 4x D
cells in parallel.

And if it does, he's gonna need a real hefty amperage power supply. My
kid had a toy that ate 4 D batteries before lunch. The voltage
requirement was for 6 volts. A 1 amp transformer didn't have enough
oomph, but a 2 amp one did. About the only thing I can figure out about
batteries (AAA, AA, C, D) is that the bigger they are, the more current
they can supply, given that they are all about 1.5 volt nominal.
