I just put the black thing in my bag and the batteries I used were energizer AA they work good for me.

the black device is an adapter for other types of batteries, I recommend the Sony NP-FV100 Battery 4,500 mAh or its remplasos me and had the burn continuously for more than 3 hours without turning them off .. with this type of battery

As others have said, the 'the black thing' is a battery adapter for other batteries. I have sucessfully used AA rechargable batteries for two hours without a loss of light. The Sony batteries listed below are also a good choice.

I believe it said it was for Panasonic batteries, as an adapter cause of it's size.I use the Sony Lithium only because I had them already for a Sony camera, but being they are expensive it's best to buy the 6 AA through buying an 8 pack AA rechargeable Lithium. If you need hours upon hours of constant light then the single 5 hour Sony Battery is great as I think it lasts longer then the AA ones.The back comes off to place the batteries in and snaps back on to secure them even with the window opening for the batteries the Sony stays snug inside.

the batteries i got were in the retail packaging just a bit of a damaged box. The batteries themselves are duracell. The only negative thing I noticed is that these batteries did not last very long. they did the trick for a while for a wii u controller and xbox controller for a month or so then new batteries were needed. Perhaps it's because of how much use and power these particular devices take up? I'm not sure.

Mine was labeled something else, but most brand name manufacturers contract out batteries and just slap their own sticker on it. What I can tell you the battery I got was a decent one, lasted about 3-4 hrs and worked with all power states and levels both windows and Linux. Just saying your results and mileage may vary, contact a professional if you get mileage or results longer than four hours

I found it. You can buy at Ebay. The seller ID(name) is trusyou11730. You can buy extra battery too.

I just used regular AA batteries, Energizer I believe, and it has worked just fine. I hope you are able to find something that makes it work better for you. My little guy plays with his everyday!

I would suggest that you contact Melnor, the maker of this item. I have NO idea what might be wrong, as long as you've put in new batteries, in the correct direction.

Buying a battery might be a cheap fix. Make sure the charging unit is plugged in and it lights up when the unit is placed in the charger. If the unit is new, send it back.

New batteries, flush it out. Or maybe that part of it just burnt out. Sorry..

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

I would guess you just got a defective battery. My experience has been fantastic. I use it almost every night. The beam is brighter than any comparable flashlight I've ever owned. I haven't ever had any problem with the battery holding a charge, and it lasts for a long time. Did you charge it fully before use? You should have. Also, the instructions say to plug it back into the charger after every use. I do this even if I only use it for two or three minutes. Unless you've had it a long time, Black and Decker is pretty good about standing behind their warranties. I'd give them a call.

Don't Put the Battery In it looks more realistic. It is probably the connections. or try alkaline batteries they last longer

YES, I just bought it, put new batteries in and it didn't work, bought more new batteries(in case the one's I bought were old) still doesn't work. I am fixing to research if I can get my money back from Amazon.

Buy a couple extra cheap third party batteries. No big deal. 2 batteries should get you through a full day of heavy shooting.

Well unless you can open it and try to buy a battery for it there is nothing else you can do for it. Read the Returns listed for the company and for Amazon opening it may void any chances for any replacements or refunds!

Mine did the same at first. I made sure I had a brand new, fresh set of batteries, and it's been great ever since. I suggest good, name brand alkalines such as Duracell.
