Has anyone used this battery in the Coleman rechargeable lantern? The Coleman battery is the same dimension, same voltage but the amp hour is 4.0 in the lantern battery and this one is 4.5.

Yup. I've used it in the rechargeable lantern with no problem. It may even perform a little better the OEM.

The same voltage is what you have to be concerned with. I have not used this in the lantern, just in emergency lights. This 4.5 amp battery should run a bit longer before it needs recharging than the Coleman.

Hi I have a question regarding solar lights batteries. I bought some solar lights this month and the batteries that came with it is: AA 1.2V 450 mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries. Will this type of batteries from amazon (being 2000 mAh) be compatible with my solar lights? Will 2000 mAh damage my solar lights? Thanks.

Yes, a 5 Ah (amp hour) battery can safely replace a 4 Ah battery. The replacement battery's voltage should be the same as your original battery, and you should try to get a battery of roughly the same physical size to better fit into your system's battery compartment.The Ah in the description refers to the battery's amp-hour rating. A 5 amp-hour battery will provide 5 Amps for 1 hour, or 1 amp for 5 hours, or any other product of hours X amps that equals 5. It is a measure of the battery's capacity to power your alarm system in the event of a power outage.

These solar rechargeable batteries are the same size and dimension as an AA battery. In the store, I did see other 3.2 that have a shorted length and larger diameter. Suggest verifying before ordering.

Just be sure you check the dimensions of your existing batteries, the important thing about these batteries is the 35 amp hour rating (35ah) that determines the charge life of the battery. Usually (not always) the size of the battery is proportionate to the ah so be sure to check the measurement

I don't know, I used this battery to power/charge my phone and electronics camping trips for over a week. It didn't powered my small refrigerator, which I think was 14amps,it would cut off after a 1 min.

Someone else said it works with any 6V lantern...It works fine for the ones I have (old school military lanterns with two bulbs, one on top and one on a side). They use one big heavy duty 6V Lantern battery. The bulbs have no direct contact with the battery, only through the contacts. Hope this helps.

Hi, I believe you'll need to figure out what the amperage is of the power supplies that what you want to run and if anything else is running on the same circuit. I read in the reviews and elsewhere that you should use this accessory with a 15A or less fuse, so I have it on a circuit with 15A in my travel trailer. My laptop 12v power supply uses 3.5A, the Coleman 12v cooler uses 5A, the phone charger uses 1.5A I think. I have run the cooler and a charger at the same time without it melting or blowing a fuse. I did fry the last dual power outlet (different make, felt cheaper) with the same usage (Caveat: I am not an electrician and am just sharing my experience.)

Howdy, the description on Amazons site says the battery never needs replacing. I think these are made mostly for third world countries and they just throw them out when they die. Great lantern though, very bright!

the 5ah replaced the 4ah and 4.5ah, which are not made anymore(read from another battery site)...you will get extra run time from the 5ah and it is same size and same 12volts

Mike, I ordered this battery for the Coleman Quick Pump and got my pump up and running again. Most people don't know they can replace the battery. Works great too. Amazon is such a great company when it comes to returning an item so give it a try!

Sorry I couldn't help you, the battery was purchased for a friend and he used it for an outdoor lamp.My guess would be if the Voltage and Amps correspond to your unit and the size is right there should be no problem.

I have used a 12 volt cord I had for a lantern, just be sure that polarity is correct. (inside pin on mine is positive) make sure same plug, and polarity, they work great!!

Ray, I asked the same question and never got an answer. The first time charged, I let it go for 8 hours and the red light never went out. If I use it for any length of time, I charge it for at least 8 hours. I have it marked on my calender every 4 months to charge the battery and most all the time, it does not need the charge at all. This is the best lantern I ever owned. This is what worked for me. I hope it helps.

I have lacrosse AA rechargable batteries and Eneloop batteries, both with higher capacities (I think 2500mH). I tried to use both and was unable too because the rechargable batteries are just barely too big. I did successfully shove one in, had a horrible time getting it back out and did not try again. I would guess that there are brands and/or possibly lower capacity rechargable so that are just a tad smaller than mine that do fit. This is why you are seeing different opinions.

Hello James, We can't speak for other sellers of this product, but if you purchase from Battery Supersite, we ship the higher capacity version of this battery which has the same 12v output as the 12v 4.0ah, but is rated at a higher capacity. The capacity is listed as the "ah" rating, or amp hour rating. The amp hour rating is simply just the capacity of the battery and how much reserve power it can store. It's like the gas tank in a car; the larger the gas tank, the longer it can run. We always search the market for high quality batteries that will have a higher capacity but keep the output the same. The important thing to check is the voltage as the voltage should always be the same (ie. a 12v cannot be used where a 6 volt was used). A good example of this is the 4ah and 4.5ah battery. Nearly every battery manufacturer has updated this size battery to the 5 amp hour battery which will provide up to 20% longer runtime than the previous capacity battery. Feel free to contact us with any questions. Battery Supersite "The Amazon Battery Experts"

Voltage is the same, amperage is listed as higher that the Sony original. If the amperage is higher then the battery's will run longer.
