D battery for alkaline model has 9 V of nominal Voltage and Ni Cd or NiMh
have 8.4 V so you have to pay attention and check if your sensor board
accepts this voltage. On my application I use a Li Ion 7,5 V battery and for
reducing its voltage a voltage regulator is used because MDA320 accepts
input voltage up to 5 V but Xbow recommends 3.3 V.

The only difference will be lifetime.  Typically, standard-sized batteries
all have a nominal voltage of 1.5V (alk) or 1.2V (NiMH) regardless of size,
and can usually be used interchangeably.

Hi all,

We are interested on using D batteries on tinyos-compatible "low class"
mote (micaz, iris, telosb), instead of AA batteries. Anyone has
experience on using these type of batteries?.

Best,
