I have a flashlight that I bought cheap where the AA bettery does not fit well and I used to tape it to make it wider and not rattle in the flashlight.
When looking closer at the description I found out that the flashlight was made for A battery and that is slightly wider (17 mm compared to 14.5) so that is why it rattled, and this adapter solves this.
As it turned out to not be a manufaturing error (that was my thought based on the price I paied) but diffrent size of battery, I am publishing this adapter in the hope it helps others as well.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
