Any flashlight that uses non-rechargeable batteries, IE... AAA, AA, C, or D batteries. If it is not used on a regular basis and sits for a long time with the batteries still in it, the batteries will leak and damage the flashlight. It is recommended that if the flashlight is not going to be used for long periods of time, that you remove the batteries to avoid leakage into the flashlight. This also is recommended for anything that uses this type of battery. These types of batteries are known leakers.
Hello, Jacob -
I am guessing that your flashlight uses a rechargeable battery or batteries. If so . . . if you have not already done so, have you replaced the rechargeable battery or batteries with a new one / new ones?
Rechargeable batteries do not last forever and eventually need to be replaced with fresh ones. It would help in advising you to know the make and model of your flashlight. To provide that information, you can choose Comment and type the information in the Comment box. Best wishes.
To my knowledge this item has been discontinued by Coleman and is no longer available. However, I've listed basic instructions on changing batteries. Here's a link that you could watch for the disassembly for your flashlight type.
Locate the battery compartment on the Coleman CT 50 flashlight. This is usually at one end of the flashlight and is secured with a cap or cover.
Depending on the design, unscrew the cap or remove the cover to access the battery compartment. Some flashlights may have a twist-off cap, while others may have a sliding cover or other mechanisms.
If there are existing batteries in the compartment, carefully remove them. Pay attention to the orientation of the batteries, noting the positive (+) and negative (-) ends.
Insert new batteries into the compartment, ensuring they are placed in the correct orientation. Match the positive and negative ends with the markings inside the battery compartment.
Once the new batteries are in place, securely put back the cap or cover. If it's a screw-on cap, tighten it until it's snug. If it's a sliding cover, ensure it clicks into place.
Turn on the flashlight to check if the new batteries are working correctly. If the flashlight doesn't turn on, double-check the battery orientation and make sure the connections are clean.
If the old batteries are disposable, make sure to recycle them properly. Many communities have specific recycling programs for batteries.
Always refer to the user manual or any included instructions for your specific flashlight model, as the steps may vary. If you don't have the manual, you can often find it on the manufacturer's website or contact Coleman's customer support for assistance. Additionally, be mindful of the type and size of batteries recommended for the flashlight to ensure optimal performance.
I've owned this flashlight for years.Grasp the whole front of the lamp piece (including the rubber cover), and
twist in a counter-clockwise direction to remove. Then squeeze
together the two black tabs and pull the battery compartment out to
replace the batteries.
