I'd like to know what kind of 6 volt lantern battery it uses- I bought one of these flashlights few years ago and would like to use 6 volt.

Uses the standard 6v square battery - or you can use the adapter that holds 4 D cells

This lantern came with 4 D batteries, however, the standard 6 volt battery would work.

Mine came with 4 Heavy Duty Rayovac D Batteries. I purchased it within the last year.

Amazon also sells L.E.D.replacement bulbs to give you more " LUMENS" for about $5. Check it out.

There are many different manufacturers of the 6 Volt lantern battery. They are all " Top Post" terminal types with the " spring" contacts on the top and fairly close to each other. Of course, one is + for positive, the other - for negative. They are heavy and taller than they are wide. Any of them will work fine.

Uses standard square 6 volt lantern battery available at most grocery and hardware stores. You can also use the adapter that came with the flashlight with 4 D batteries.

I agree with Ken's answer. It's really just a specially sized battery. The battery housing unit isn't all that attractive (and mine was installed in the garage to link to the location of the outside box) but I can't see why having this battery would present any more concerns than having a battery-powered lantern or large flashlight in the bedroom, which is a fairly common emergency supply for people to keep nearby.

It takes a 3.7 V 3000 mAh Rechargeable battery. You can get a regular 3.7 V battery but they are hard to find. I got some at Battery Plus, or something like that and they were fairly expensive, but the best way is to go to Amazon and find them. I ordered 4 rechargeable batteries with a charger and I think it was less than $10.00. When I got my flashlight I was pissed that batteries didn't come with it & they are hard to find. But the ones I bought worked great & they can be recharged. The flashlight is really bright & I have been very satisfied with the light.

I've always used them with two cell flashlights. If the six batteries are in series (- of one battery against the + of the next battery and so on), then you'll increase the voltage but the overall power capacity remains the same. For example, two 1.5 volt batteries in series gives you three volts, but overall should have the same overall power capacity as one 1.5 volt battery. Six would be 6 x 1.5 = 9 volts. Now Having said that, I have recycled nearly dead batteries into flashlights with these LEDs and still get very useful amounts of light for several more months (where the conventional flashlight bulb would have become too dim to use). Hope that helps, Joe

2 D batteries. On a side note I accidently opened the top of the flashlight instead of the bottom to see what type of batteries were in it. When I opened the top, the lamp became loose and I was unable to replace it, making my flashlight unusable. Before that it worked "ok".

It has a built in rechargeable battery, I think it is a great flashlight.... I was so pleased with my first one, after a couple of months, I ordered a second. Our power went out and they popped on as anticipated. Highly Recommended. I have not had to replace a battery...I would anticipate years before I need to replace the unit.

Mine came with a 6 volt lantern battery which with the LED design will last very long. I bought 4 of them and they all work great. Much better light than from any Krypton or Halogen bulb flash light of this stile of flash light that I have every used.

Well my first dlight 300 wouldnt hold a charge hardly at all.It would stay up if the light was on but go down quickly if not in use.They sent me a replacement whithout having to return the defective one and from the very start,new lantern is working great.I practically charge it up daily and use it at night.The longest i went so far was 4 days and only on a partial charge.The battery was fine.Another note is that the new light seems to charge a lot easier than my first one.Hope this helps!

Either one 18650 lithium battery or two CR123A batteries will do. My favorite flashlight because it is the brightest one for it's size. Plenty bright outdoors and brightness can be reduced for indoors. Nice wide beam. Fits in your pocket. Don't order from China though. I've gotten two pieces of junk from there. Pay a couple of extra dollars and order directly from Amazon. You won't be disappointed.

I changed the battery in mine also. One lantern briefly worked but when dark after 2 nights. The other did not light, even with a new battery. Sorry!!

It is some kind of coin cell type battery. It is not meant to be replaced by the user. The lantern failed miserably after a few months of use. The plastic gears broke inside. I would not buy this again and I would recommend you avoid it.

The other answer mention the rechargeable batteries. Those are good to get and will work but if ur not willing to wait for the shipping, go to Walgreens or Walmart n purchase a lithium photo battery. 2 will work for this flashlight.

The battery life is directly proportional to the number of cells. Thus, a 6-cell flashlight would have three times the useful battery life of a 2-cell flashlight with the same type of battery.

Most rechargeable have a voltage of 3.7 to 4.2 volts, unlike the regular lithium batteries that are 3 volts. So potentially, you can burn up the flashlight as 12.6 volts is a lot higher than the 9 volts that the light was designed for. Not recommended...

I experienced the same thing. the flashlight you receieved runs on the 18560 rechargeable battery and not the standard AA batteries. you will need to return it for the model that uses the AAs or get the rechargeable 18560s.

This flashlight USES 18650 individual cells or 26650 single battery.The price of the battery is not sure, to see whether the brand!

3.7 volt, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CB8PGOE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1This is a much better light, SUPERNIGHT (TM) 6000 Lumens 6x CREE XML XM-L T6 LED Flashlight Torch 40W High Power Super Bright 18650 FlashlightI bought the same model your looking at, it looks cool but underperforms.
