Even when they were last available....the cost was way beyond what I would pay for a non-rechargable battery. I purchased an inverter ($18.95) from walmart automotive dept. and wired it direct to existing outlet on battery box of lantern. This unit was small enough to mount under the outlet cover. ran 12volt source wires into battery compartment and hook to any 12-18 volt battery that will fit in compartment. Radioshack has a 8 D-cell powerpack for $2.69. My experience was only a few hours life from regular d-cells. The rechargable ni-cads are probably better, but kinda pricey to purchase. My solution was to use the 18 volt rechargable batteries from my Black&Decker drill/driver, They fit in the compartment and I already have the charger. These last a long time between charges. Any brand will work....depending upon their size to fit in compartment. My inverter will kick off with any imput over 18v....I tried a 24v just to see even though the dewalt battery I tried wouldnt have fit in compartment. Hopes this helps keep em potable* any questions? cheetahd2000@yahoo.com Send E-Mail Reply to daryl Your Name: Your E-Mail Address: Message: >>Original Message on Aug 6, 2010 - 4:47 PM:<br>>>======================<br>>>"These batteries are not to be found....I have chased many a dead end.

I have the British eveready version of this, Its orange in colour and uses 8 D cells in series for 12v for the tube. I am not realy that up on the American Eveready stuff but i have sent a pic of mine to Dave. Mine has made in Italy on it and has a catalogue no 5531 on, As said mine is british Eveready. I have searched through everywhere and can,t find info. Maybe not many made as the number of batterys it uses is a bit much ie more expence. The tube inside mine is 6W and runs of 12V. these tubes are used in caravan lights. This American one seems to use high voltage and i have never seen a battery lantern use this, I would love to know the reason for the high voltage,,,,regards.MIKE Send E-Mail Reply to Mike Your Name: Your E-Mail Address: Message: >>Original Message on Jun 9, 2009 - 1:24 PM:<br>>>======================<br>>>"This seems to use alot of voltage.
