Not perfect but is worth the money. Thoughts on the battery compartment.

So the other night here in Chicago we had some BRUTAL storms roll through. It seems the past week or two we've been getting slammed by insane storms and 60+ MPH winds. I'd been putting off for over year getting this lantern and after coming home from a week vacation to find our power was out and we only had flashlights and candles, I decided it was now or never. I received my lantern the other day and had all evening to play with it.

I have to agree with what everyone else has said so far about the quality and build of this lantern. Yes, Made in China, but I am surprised at how durable the construction of the plastic case is, the rubber base, and the light housing. All seem to be made to a pretty tight spec and use thicker, durable platics so points for that. Backed by a LIFETIME warranty too, another plus. The only thing that's somewhat flimsy is the plastic tent hook on the underside of the base to allow it to hang upside down. Could be more durable and perhaps a bit bigger.

So, like others, I was worried about the battery compartment and how everyone complained about its design. After playing with that and wrapping my head around why it was designed as such, I GET it. If Rayovac reads these comments (which I guess they do), here's a suggestion for those whiners who are either too dumb or cheap to keep a few emergency candles and a lighter around to find the lantern in the dark: perhaps put some raised/textured bumps or fins on the OUTSIDE portion of the case relative to the the inside coupling channels. This would do wonders for those stuck in total blackout as it would allow for using touch as a way to line up the coupling channels. Problem solved, whiners forever silenced.

Now, in my own experience with the battery cover, it takes a few tries to get used to the way you have to line up the coupling channels. It's not disingenuous but you SHOULD practice it a few times to get used to it. The engineers appear to have made the battery cover channels align at a 45 degree angle relative to the base, which is square. So, not to insult anyone's intelligence, but you'd have to be an idiot to NOT see the obviousness of this. So yes, it takes a LITTLE bit of practice and the design can be tweaked but it is not so complicated that you need a PhD from MIT to figure it out. The way the battery contacts were put on the battery cover is why it was designed this way. I cut some 1/8th" x 1" strips of grip tape and made my own line-up system on the outside of the case and I can now get the cover to line up and close every time. I'm sure some silver Sharpie ink would do the same trick. Incidentally, Rayovac did put arrow stickers on the inside of the battery cover and battery compartment to guide you (i.e. -->
