Depends on the chemistry.
A standard D cell has 1.5 VDC. Oxy Nickel Hydroxide and Lithium cells have a slightly higher voltage of 1.7 VDC
NiCd or NiMH rechargeable then 1.2 VDC at full charge.
Four D batteries in series produce nominally 6 volts (1.5 volts per cell). A 12-volt supply may damage the machine built to run on 6 volts.
6 Volt
There are literally hundreds of different types of batteries available to consumers. The most popular batteries for consumer electronics are AA, AAA, C, D, 9 volt, and smaller "watch size" batteries.
There are many different sizes of Sanyo batteries available. They available in Alkaline or rechargeable batteries. The different sizes of batteries include AAA, AA, C, D, and 9 volt.
Assuming a standard D battery has a voltage of 1.5 volts, it would take approximately 35 D batteries (52 volts / 1.5 volts per battery = 34.67). However, in reality, you cannot directly power a 52 volt light bulb using D batteries as the voltages do not match.
1.5 volt batteries come in a variety of sizes: AAA, AA, C, and D are the most common. Grocery stores, drug stores, electronic stores, and variety stores as well as many popular etailers sell these batteries.
Button batteries, AA, AAA, D and C batteries are a single cell. 9-volt batteries contain multiple cells to get a higher voltage and therefore are the shape they are. Open a 9-volt battery and you will see the cells inside - make sure you wash your hands afterwards though!
you will have to get 2 batteries and compare it
6 @ 1.5v each The 9 volt battery is a true battery, containing six cells of 1.5 volts each. Most storage devices that we call batteries(i.e. D-cell, AA-cell, AAA-cell) are not batteries, but cells.
If the bulb is a 40 watt, 120v bulb, you would need 20 6 volt batteries wired in series, or 80 (!) 1.5 volt batteries. 1.5 volt batteries are AAA, AA, C, D, etc. Since this solution is rather extravagant, try finding a light bulb made for an RV. These typically run off of 12 volts, and you can get a single 12 volt battery, or 2 6 volt batteries, to run this bulb.
The Energizer Universal Battery Charger can recharge a number of different types of batteries. The types of batteries that can be recharged include AA, AAA, C, D, and 9 volt.
Four size D torch cells are needed for a 6-volt torch. Each size D torch cell typically provides 1.5 volts, so combining four of them will give a total voltage of 6 volts.
