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

Batteries go in at the bottom. Just "unscrew," place the batteries and screw back on.

Yes, it is "machine threads" and very tight. The end cap has a ribbed surface. Try harder!

On the flashlight end, twist off the lens top (about two full turns) and pull the body out of the housing. Install the batteries such that the negative side is toward the spring in the battery compartment. (Be sure that any plastic on the battery contacts is removed.) Replace the body so that the push button on it will mate with the rubber push button on the external case. Then screw the top portion back in.

They are loaded in the bottom portion of the flashlight. The bottom screws open slowly and you place the batteries inside a compartment. It's no big deal.

When you pull a flashlight out of the stand, on the bottom of the flashlight handle is a lid that you have to twist left. On the very bottom of the lid in says which way is to lock and which way is to unlock.

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.

Hold the unit so the word "Advocate" is to your left. On the back side of the unit from Advocate, you'll see a small triangle or arrow. The batteries are under that cover. It might be a little sticky getting off but they are under there.

Twist the head of the flashlight counter-clockwise a small turn until it stops, then pull it away from the handle. Inside you will see the LEDs in the center. That is also the battery compartment. Just pull it out and install the batteries. Make sure when you put the battery compartment back in that the red dot\button lines up with the black button on the handle outside; the red button is the button you actually press when you are pressing the black button outside. Then just put the head back on and turn it clockwise until it stops.

After trying to take off the front of the flashlight and failing I tried unscrewing the end. It was on tight but it unscrewed. I then tried the batteries first one way and then the other. After that the light worked great.

Sorry about the delay but have been out of country. I tried opening the spotlight by removing all the screws but no access to the battery. Evidently it is only by unscrewing the lens can you access it. So probably best to ask them. Their customer service was very good about replying about my request for info about the batteries. I had no problem with going through airport screening in US, UK, Hong Kong, South Africa. The spotlight was great--people were asking about it--and was much brighter than those supplied by the game drives. Long lasting. I wouldn't be concerned about replacing the batteries. No problem recharging on 240v--just have an adapter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I gave the item to my grandson who lives out of state, but I believe that there are screw plates on each device that must be removed to get to the batteries. I hope that helps.

Release clamp feature so clamplight looks like a regular flashlight with feet to inside. Look into opposite side of on/off button - in the interior of the on/off HANDLE there is a small green tab labeled 'Press'. Pull the 'Press' tab to release & open the battery compartment. Directions are inadequate. I struggled for 45 mins before I found the Press button. Good luck!!

i see 3 possibilities. Batteries are in backwards. Flashlight is defective. Batteries are defective
