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

Hello sir, First of all no question is stupid especially if it gets you out of a bind. Yes, the batteries are to be placed in the aft end (the screw cap opposite the bulb) of the unit if it is like a standard maglite. I shipped mine down to Haiti and did not open them up but I have had many others and they always opened up from that end and there is no reason to believe they go in the bulb end as there is a mechanism for the switch and the bulb socket on that side. The positive side with the nipple goes toward the bulb. If this is a new unit and never has had batteries this is unusual but as the other guy said it can be very, very tight when new. If it is a used unit that someone gave you and it has batteries in it the possibility exists that the batteries exploded from heat and the corrosive affects of the chemicals has jammed the threads of the end cap. This happened to me a couple of times here in south Florida in a hot work van over the summer. Try to coat the threads with something not to heavy (light grease or a nickel or copper based never seez compound come to mind) in the future. This will help.

There is a "slide" type of switch on top of each unit. Assuming you got the same ones I did, there is a rubber band that attaches to the bottom of each unit. Then there is the switch on top. The lens goes in front. If they don't turn on it may be that the non-replaceable batteries are dead. If you make them work, then be sure you turn them off after you're done.

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out.The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

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.

In the back (behind the lights) you will find the battery compartment. You well see the bracket that you would mount to a surface, is placed right over the battery compartment. if you mount it somewhere you will have to remove the the double sided sticky tape, if you use it, to replace the batteries. I found that the light is difficult to place anywhere. The tape they sent with it is lousy. I bought five of them and only opened two. It is easy to forget that the lights are on and the batteries go fast. Good luck.You may have a better use for them than I did.

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

Make sure the battery is installed with the positive end towards the bulb end of the flashlight. There was a plastic spacer tube shipped with the flashlight, when using the rechargeable battery, use the spacer tube to make sure the battery fits in the flashlight body properly.

For the battery cartridge as a whole, the end with the protruding bump goes down into the flashlight. The end wiht the hollowed bump goes toward the flashlight end with the on/off button. Make sure the batteries are snapped into the cartridge securely. The + and - are marked on both ends of the cartridge. Make sure they line up correctly with the batteries (the flat end of the battery is -). Once you screw the end of the flashlight on, press the black rubber button for on/off. If that doesn't work you could try new batteries

Have no idea, since I just got them this week, the battery that is already installed, is very good. I tried taking off the top part, but no luck. I guess they figure the price of getting a battery vs just getting a new pen does not warrant an option to opening it up. I got mine for $2.99. I got it for the stylus, not the flashlight. So if the light goes out, no big deal since we have a dozen or so, laying around the house.

you will see there are large, silver, ratcheted domes on either side of the light. One side says don't twist. The other has arrows in the directions of "close" and "open". Open it. A cylindrical insert will slide out-this is where you will place your 3 AAA batteries. Hope this helps.

Inside the battery port you can slide a plastic piece out to put the smaller batteries in. The bigger batteries slide right in. This flashlight is awesome = )

sorry, but i can't locate the instructions for my own flashlight. All I can suggest is to contact the manufacturer. They most likely have a website or an 800 number.

There is a (+) sign and a (-) sign in two different places on the battery. Put the one with the (+) sign near the end of the battery into the flashlight first.

You just have to unscrew the bottom of the flashlight, the metal black cap, to access the batteries.
