Read this if Battery Cover wont seat properly

Replacing my 20+ yr old, heavy, 8 “D” battery Coleman with the 2 glass bulbs bc I cant get them anymore. Chose this one based on size and weight. I went to install batteries and encountered the same issue many others have. The battery compartment locked up and wouldn’t completely seat. It also wouldnt remove. Multiple reviews mention this problem, but only one actually figured it out! The tube that inserts has a slight tear drop shape. I used a flat screwdriver to VERY gently unseat the cover. Once off I could see the issue. It’s amazing that Coleman, in all their responses to others reviews, dont mention this and nothing in manual. Once you see this shape, you’ll be able to line it up properly to take it off and on.

The knob on this lantern broke after one trip. It’s constructed of cheap plastic. And now the entire lantern has stopped working

A very good lantern

I bought one these days and I love it. The light is strong enough, material quality is very good, the size is good too. I have read some people complaining about the batteries compartment, about an issue. I don't have anything to complain. I can close and open very easily. I really don't understand what problem they have with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

No more carrying 30 lbs in batteries on every trip

There is nothing I can complain about when it comes to this lantern. It's durable, has 3 choices of brightness, doesn't eat batteries like crazy like my old one did, and seems pretty sturdy and durable so far. The battery compartment is like any other on something that keeps water out. If it didn't have the push and twist seal, it would not be very helpful in a rain storm for example. I purchased this for camping, so that is an important feature. I am not sure why so many reviewers are having trouble with this compartment. I figured it out the first time I put batteries into it. You just need to make sure it's aligned properly, push up, and twist.

Battery compartment design flawed
on February 21, 2022

I bought this in Dec 2021. I just tried to use it today, Feb. 21,2022. I put the batteries in and now can’t get the compartment to close. We are in the middle of a ocean snowstorm and have no power. Bought this light specific for these issues. Bought Coleman on top of it due to positive brand experience in the past. Why do you not fix this design instead of just perpetuating the problem by continuing to sell. Very disappointed in this product snd Coleman.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

BATTERY COMPARTMENT SOLVE
on November 16, 2021
Posted by: JJ Howe
I was having the same battery compartment issue. Stick a screwdriver into the center of the compartment to gently pry the base off, and you'll see the center connector is teardrop-shaped, I had it turned so it didn't line up correctly. Once I put it in the correct way, I'm able to get the lid on and off the base easily. Hope that helps!
