Stupid question, but I am at a loss. I believe the batteriesgo in one end of the flashlight but I can not get it opened. Is that where they go?

Batteries go in at the bottom. Just "unscrew," place the batteries and screw back on.

Yes, it is "machine threads" and very tight. The end cap has a ribbed surface. Try harder!

Pull up on individual flashlights to separate them. Then unscrew the bottom of each flashlight to replace batteries. Have a good day!

The flashlight requires three batteries. If you unscrew the back plate and turn the butt end down the battery pack will fall out. The three AA batteries will go into the battery pack with the negative end (-) or flat end against the spring. Two of the batteries will go one way and the third will go in upside down compared to the other two. The battery pack has a little knob in the center versus an indention on the other end. The pack goes into the flashlight barrel, knob end first (toward the light) and the indention end toward the screw on back plate. I hope this helps. If you still have trouble, just ask and I will be glad to try and help.

On mine the side panel opens just by sliding it open, but only the left side sides opens for batteries. There is an little marking at the top, kind of like two frowny faces (for lack of a better description) and if you push on that and slide it downward it opens. There are 2 AAA batteries inside.

On the side of the light look carefully you will see a cap just move it to the side it will open up and you can use batteries.

There are two screws on either side of the on/off switch. Unscrew them and a small battery drawer will come out.

The very back of the flashlight unscrews. Turn it counter clockwise. It can be hard to turn at first. I have six of these, some are harder than others to unscrew. Good luck.

There is a battery compartment in the bottom of each flashlight. It twists off.

Hello - Good question, as they appear not to have a way to operate them. At the back end of the flashlight is a slightly raised, round black object. That's the button, which is actually underneath that surface. Just push down on it to turn the light on or off.

The other response is correct. There is a door on the back. Open it and insert the batteries.

I believe there is a tiny rubber "plug" on the body of the flashlight that you plug into....I gave it away as a gift awhile ago so I can't be sure.

On the bottom of the lantern is a round, black rubber stand. Grip it and turn. It should come off easily and inside is where the batteries are. Hope this helps you.

I just went & opened mine, just to be sure. It was a piece of cake. Open the safe, push down the tab at the top of the battery compartment & pull it out & down. It's pretty simple. It catches at the top & the bottom just has a slot it sits in.

Flip the light compartment up, and under that is a silver plate. At that point you should be able to see the locking hinges that hold the plate in place. The batteries are under that plate.Hope that this answer will help you.

1. Test the "new" batteries individually to make sure they are OK.2. Confirm that each battery is installed correctly into the holder - the flat (-) end of each battery should be towards the spring in the holder.3. Confirm that the battery holder is installed correctly into the flashlight - the holder goes in "bump" end first. If your flashlight still isn't working, then either the on/off switch or the LEDs have failed, and these are not user-replaceable.

Hold the battery door open up to the hinge, than gently pull top up than the bottom. Or vice versa you should see one end has an opening.Good luck

I have bought a dozen of these flashlights over the last five years. Initially, they all had the same problem, the switch would only work if held part way on. The answer below this from R. Hennigh about a loose retaining nut is worth a shot, but for all twelve of mine, here's what I had to do, and what I'd recommend you try first. Unscrew the head and tailcaps of the flashlight and remove the battery. Hold the body tube up towards a window or a lamp...can you see through the tube? If not, take a long drift pin, a long dowel rod, anything that can take a good whack and not break...insert into the body tube from the tail (switch) end...when it contacts the plastic disc obstruction in the body tube, hold the tube tightly, and whack the rod with a hammer...HARD! When you dislodge the black plastic disc with the little brass colored rivet in its center, THROW IT AWAY! It serves no purpose, and stops the flashlight from working. Once removed, reassemble the head-end, re-insert the battery, and twist the switch cap back on...it should work fine now. Those caps were supposed to ensure the battery was inserted the correct way...the rivet is slightly indented on the tube side, and slightly proud on the head side. This would stop the flat negative side of the battery from making contact with the L E D driver circuit and destroying it due to reverse polarity...BUT...most 18650 battery positive end tips DO NOT fit the recess in the disc, so it prevents the flashlight from working AT ALL!! I have bought 12 of these lights...had to "modify" all of them. I carry two on me at all times, I have several in my vehicles, and have given some as gifts. In 5 years, the ONLY problem I've ever had was the initial need to modify the lights. Other than that, they are blindingly bright, highly reliable, light weight, and hold a charge regardless of the temperature of the vehicle they are stored in for months at a time. Good luck, and let me know how you made out!
