Just for the record...

The Rand McNally catalog has a picture of the "D" Booster Car Battery
Charger.  It gives dimensions as 12"x18"x1.5" which is enough space to
hold at least 12 D batteries or about 24 amp hours.

The idea is to trickle charge your car battery, not to run your
car off D cells, so melting wires and internal resistance isn't a problem.

So it may work, but still I wouldn't buy it.
