Edward on Nov 13, 2008 - 9:12 AM I bought my polaroid flashlight 1997 in the Dollar Tree store. It looked cool & worked good. I left it in the glove compartment for emergencies. Three cars later,I still have it. It's dirty but still works. I can't believe it too. $4.00 for a 10 year plus flashlight,that's a great deal!

C on Nov 15, 2008 - 9:38 PM Does anyone know - To replace the battery, can one simply take apart a Polaroid film pack (per Jparenti)? Or is there some other source?

Crashinoz on Dec 15, 2009 - 4:08 AM My mother has one of these - and it went dark. I opened it to see what I could do for her. Yes - a flat battery, a bit like a gellpack battery. Although it didn't have enough juice to make light, it still put out 6V. I gave it a few very hard squeezes around the pack, and it now has enough juice to light the globe again. I don't know how long it will last though.
