So this is a weird one... I am working on a device that has two different things, and one needs 4.5v and one needs 1.5v.
Is there any reason I could not just solder a wire in place to just get power from one cell and also use the existing wire to provide 4.5v elsewhere?
I know this isn't the best way to do it, but it's a quick hack to make something work... I can't find an issue with it under that condition. Can you?

A 3 AA Battery Pack that has been altered with the addition of one wire that connects at the first terminal, thusly providing 1.5 volts instead of 4.5 volts.
