How do you put batteries in it?! I haven't been able to use it yet because I can't figure that out!

You just have to screw out the opposite end of the light then you're going to find inside a capsule to place three AAA battery. No big deal really.

The bottom twists off. It appears to be sealed very well. I have about 30 dives with this light (I have two, actually) without any issues. When I travel I actually give the bottom a half twist to make sure that they don't turn on accidentally. Works great. I really like this light. Great value for money.

Pull the bottom third of the handle off and batteries go in there. It's not clearly stated at all so understand your confusion. Hope you love the product like I do!

Yeah, I saw that statement under the "Product Details" heading too! = NONsense! There is NO PLACE FOR BATTERIES in this device, it's a plug-in ONLY. That was Amazon's added commentary, NOT the manufacture's or any other sellers', and they've clearly mixed up this ad-copy from another product. (Wow, whatta waste of time! I just spent about ten minutes going up+down this page trying to make sure of that, also. Thanks again, dear Amazon 'web masters'! X)

I have had mine for at least a year now and i have never had to put batteries in it. I dont even see a place for batteries. The only opening in this game is the back of the pig where you store the cheeseburgers

Just heard back from my son and he doesn't know either. Sorry I can be of more assistance. I do know tho, that mine lasted for a very long time. I can't locate it now tho to look at it to see if I could determine where the batteries would go. So sorry I can't help you out. But again...it's loads and loads of fun!!

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

It does not take batteries. Plug it in after use and that recharges the built in battery. I've had mine about 10 months and it will no longer hold a charge longer than a few seconds! Also it will only run off the battery power! I hoped I could just plug it in and use it that way but it stops charging and uses the battery that won't charge so it is useless without a working battery!

There is a key that comes with the wand that fits into the bottom of the wand. Just unscrew the bottom and the batteries are right in there. I personally leave it unscrewed a little when I'm not using it so the batteries don't wear out.

I bought it as a gift for a friend, so I haven't used it. I think it came with batteries, ready to use, but I have no idea what kind. Sorry

I did not see a place to put any batteries in the unit. It is only run by the supplied power cord.

That is a good question. I just had to check and see. It seems like there is no place for the batteries, I can't get the back open. Sorry, can't answer your question.

Like Jot said, there is a small compartment that holds the two AA batteries. I sometimes have trouble getting it to slide out. Try applying some downward pressure while pulling on it. Another thing would be the pin. There is a lockout pin that came with the detector that is designed to keep the battery compartment from being opened. If it is in it, you would need to remove it before the compartment is opened. I don't use the pins myself because I change the batteries twice a year.

I would like to know the answer to this as well. And if not I would like to know how to make that battery compartment as well to charge its batteries outside its case. ^_^

I looked at mine and do not see anyway to do it without dissembling it. You might go to the company WEB SITE and ask them how to do it and order the proper rechargeable batteries for it. Sorry.

Screw in, then change the batteries from the front. I suppose you could get some kind of gorilla glue to put it up. Be sure it's reachable... batteries last about 2 months.

you insert AAA batteries inside it. Anyway, do not buy it - the light works only for a minute and then something breaks and you can not turn the light on again. I had 4 of them and they all broke down.

I have only been able to insert the batteries one way. The plastic shapes on the inside are designed so that the bulge on the positive side of the battery fits just overtop of a mold, while the smooth side is tight against the edge of the container. If this is reversed, the positive side does not fit in, and the flat side juts over the mold so that the cover cannot close.I would personally recommend keeping only your charged batteries in the case, and using a rubber band or something to bundle your discharged ones until they are replenished. Or you could buy more cases and label them. That would look much better actually. I have only been able to insert the batteries one way.
