Will this battery change modes if it is shaken really hard or dropped? I need it to stay in a single mode unless I change it myself.

Well, the mode will not change if dropped or shaking. It has to be manually press at the end switch. However the lens for the flash light will become loose if dropped too many times. You have to super glue it or no zooming (in or out).

No every time you tap the power button it changes modes and if you drop it I don't know what happens it seems to be pretty tuff so I don't think it will break but it depends on how far it walls. Right

Just pull it apart, like how you would to put battery in. Further than that I don't know, sorry. You may want to contact seller or company for replacement. They shouldn't fall apart from dropping I don't think. ?

Twist it on/off quickly. Each time will switch between the three modes. Not the most intuitive, but once you know it, you know it.

Not that I can tell. We keep the unit on vibrate and only switch it to shock mode when absolutely necessary and then turn it back to vibrate right away. 99% of the time the vibration is all that is needed.

Ours is working good but we need to change the battery quite often. We did have trouble with it after a really big storm. It was wet inside so we dried the insides out and put water proof tape around the outside where it goes together and we haven't had any more trouble.

Hi Emerson, No, I haven't had that happen to me yet and I left it on there for 2 days. I forget it's on there. So, In my opinion, It will not overcharge the battery.

Switching modes is simply turning the head on/off in sequence. You can do it one-handed, and it seems very reliable. The nice thing about the twist on/off (vs tail cap) is that it's less likely to get turned on by accident (while in a pocket or bag, for example).

It will go off all by itself after a short time. It is solar, so no worries about a battery running down.

Funny you should ask! I just got through changing the battery myself! You have to squeeze the two oval buttons on the side very hard and make sure the front and back face the right way. If you're very careful you should get one side button on slightly ahead of the other. Don't force it or it will break and you'll have to ducktape it back on!

If you run the battery down completely, 3 maybe 4 times. Otherwise, it'll vary alot.

Manufacturer indicated the design was changed so batteries no longer run down when unit looks like it is off. This change happened May 2015. Also, the unit has two modes. If you turn it on and just tap the power button it goes through the cycle of different light patterns. You could leave it in this mode and batteries most likely will run down. If you hold power button down until lights go out, and tapping the button does not change light patterns, then the unit is really off. This is what I learned from manufacturer and from testing the unit.

no it does not. I worked fine for about a month, then started acting up. It would not stay in the mode you left it in, then it would start just shutting off, I tried other batteries just to make sure it wasn't the batteries. I gave up on it and tossed it. I would not buy another one like it

To change Modes you must only lightly press the button, not a full press until you hear/feel the "click" as that only turns it on, or off. If you are still unable to switch modes try removing the battery for a few seconds then re-install the battery and try again. I have also noticed when the batteries are low on power it is more difficult to switch between modes.

I'm really not sure...I haven't changed modes. Why not play it safe and turn it off. Rich Green

I think on the package it tells you you hold the button down for so many minutes and it will switch from one mode to another mode or switch it off. It works for me. I give it out as a Christmas gift this year and I tested it and it work fine before I wrapped it up.

a small amount of rattle in single 18350 mode. no rattle in stacked 18350 mode. I drop mine every day though, so it may be looser than yours.

You must be very careful when you change the battery not to turn the scale upside down and press down. I read this in one of the reviews before I bought my scale. I don't know how to fix the problem.
