Two of these doesn't work so I want to change the battery of it. Any idea which battery I can use so that it starts working.

Mine were a bit dim when I got them.. I just replaced them with another Double AA battery I bought at the store.. no special battery... after I replaced it,it lit right up at dusk.. stayed lit until morning. I've enjoyed mine.. they do shine brighter with newer batteries, any kind.

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!!

The batteries that came with mine are size AA, Ni-Cd, 1.2 V rated at 600 mAh. Our local Home Depot carries these in the outdoor solar lighting section. We actually replaced some of ours with size AA, Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, 1.2 V, rated at 1200 mAh, also sold at Home Depot in the same section (for a little more money). Our thought was that they might power the lanterns longer into the night. And they seem to work. We do have problems with some of the lanterns that I think are due to poor contacts, possibly in the battery holder and possibly in the switch. I say this because sometimes the lights will go on at night, or be brighter, if you rapidly turn the switch on and off a few times or press on the battery cover to seat the battery better.

the one I got did not fit the battery I have. Be sure to check the correct one. My son was able to to use parts to make the old one work.

Look at base end, there should be a model number. Are you sure it's not the battery. Buy the same model number.

I asked my husband and he suggested you take it to Walmart and try it on the battery they have there. We purchased one from Walmart and one from Amazon once he realized how nice it is to not have to change batteries every couple of weeks. Hope that helps.

Neither. This battery isn't programmed like the other batteries. When you pop it in it will say cannot communicate with battery(you click ok) and start using it. Then after a long time, the battery will die and you dont know when. But they give 2 batteries and i think its a good trade instead of spending 200$ on the name brand.

Maybe that particular battery doesn't work? I ordered one and put it in, and it works great! Maybe send it back and have another one shipped out.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

I bought a replacement battery at a chain called batteries plus. you can bring old one in and they will help you find one that will work plus recycle old one. they also have online site.

I have had mine for a year and a half. I am on the same original batteries. Maybe try reversing the batteries around in case the inside wires are crossed. If they still don't work, contact the seller for an exchange or refund. I am sorry this is happening to you :-(

Buying a new battery won't help. The charging jack on mine was bad. Sell it to Amazon and then you pay the difference to get a refurbished one. The replacement one is guaranteed. Hope this helps you.

The battery will work. The back cover will not work. I know the back cover would not work. I really just needed a good battery that was a good price. Just recycle the back cover. Hope this helps.

Bought the same battery, had the same story. Don't start doing tricks, or watching youtube videos. Go to a bigger electronics shop and order it. Amazon batteries just don't work.

It's the replacement battery. It does not work. Mine was the same. Put the old one one and I bet it will work

Same deal here with my OEM battery. So frustrating. This was a gift...just started to learn to fly the thing well, and now the battery will not work. Pretty lame that the battery did not last longer for an OEM. I just ordered a NON OEM replacement.
