Orion DualBeam Astro Flashlight Battery Replacement

I need to replace the 9-volt battery in this flashlight. How is this done?


Thanks

John,

Your light looks very much like my Rigel version. On the top, towards
the front of your light, there will be a little tab (close to the
wheel you use to adjust the brightness). Push it down, and pull the
front lens covering off.

Once that's off, just grab the little circuit board the LEDs are
attached too and pull it out. You should see the battery attached
at the end.

That's how it works on the Rigel, and looking at the pic

it looks nearly identical.

Hope that helps,
Esmail

Thanks, Esmail. I'd opened the lens, and was afraid of breaking the circuit
board. Just tried your suggestion, and out it is. Now to replace the
battery.

:-) .. cool.

This is a great little light. Over time the little screw that holds the
wheel to the circuit board came loose on mine and actually once fell out.
Luckily I was at home playing around with it. You may want to keep an
eye out for that .. you'll notice the wheel switch will become "sloppy".

I probably should just dab a bit of glue on the screw to keep it in
place.

Cheers,
