I have a dorcy lantern and can not remove the bottom cover to replace batteries

The bottom of the lantern is black with bumps on the plastic. Rotate/turn the black bottom in a counter-clockwise direction (as you would open a pickle or mayo jar) to access the battery compartment.

I just solved this problem with my lantern. It was stuck,so I ran a butter knife along the seal of the battery cover. I was then able to easily open it and replace the batteries.

Turn the black base counter-clockwise and it should unscrew to reveal the battery compartment.

Turn the mouse over and on the bottom is a cover marked "OPEN". Use a small coin or fingernail to pry this off. This is where the batteries (2 "AAA") are inserted. Be careful when placing a battery over the small plastic strip to leave a small strip available to make it easier to remove the bottom battery.

The battery pack is keyed so that it only slides in (easily) one way. If the pack has not been forced all the way in, it may be possible to pull it out. There is no way to push from the bottom. If you cannot remove the pack, look up Streamlight on their website; you will probably need to send it to them.

I'm guessing a year and half later, the original question asker has either figured this out or taken a sledgehammer to the lantern, but for others wondering, this might help clarify.Yes, hold the black rubber base on bottom with one hand. But that is not the part that actually turns and opens. The lantern separates just above the power button. So hold the bottom in one hand and the lamp cover in the other and twist in opposite directions. It should separate easily. You'll see the white disc with the lights on it and directional arrows for opening/closing the disc to access/close the battery compartment.Perhaps there are two different designs out there, but that is how mine opens.

Pop off the front plastic cover. There might be one screw holding the batteries in behind a plate. Once removed, there is an electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. The batteries should slide out just by pulling on them. If they don't budge, they might be bulged. In that case, you would need to disassemble the chassis some more.

I was not able to remove the battery cover. I am looking to buy a non-digital metronome now.

I just unscrew the flashlihgt from the shaft. When you do this it will reveal a "button" battery. Pop it out and replace. Reattach the flashlight . That is the best I can do for you. Jim

Hello, the lantern is still in the demo mode that is pre-set at the factory. All you have to do is take out the batteries and put them back in again. There was a label on my lantern with instructions as well as in the instruction pamphlet on how to do this. Hope it works, otherwise return it.

You have to use a screwdriver and take the screws out of the solar plate. It lifts off and you can then change the batteries

you can remove one side of the plastic cover, use a knife or something thin to start removing it next to the metal ring. Only one side will come off. then pull out the light and battery holder and replace the batteries

You have to remove to one rubber cover on the end of the handle, then the safety screw. once this is done you can slide the battery cover off.

You need to unscrew the bottom and the insides will come out and that's where the batteries go.

The batteries are under the decorative plate. Pull that up and use a paperclip to lift the batteries out. Hopefully that works for you.

you have to remove two screws, take it apart, then have access to the battery!

Pull the cover down and unplug it. There is a screw on the back side holding the back cover on. Remove the back cover and the bulbs are inside of it.

There is a on/off switch on the bottom of the candle with the cover to the batteries. Make sure that the candle has the batteries.
