Coleman 4D Battery Cartridge- CPX6 Compatible

Bought this for my 4D XPS DUO lantern (the one with the 2 detachable lights) after Coleman parts told me there was no replacement and that I would have to buy the rechargeable. With tax and shipping it would cost $41. More than what I paid for the lantern???? I bought this because the seller said it would work and it works perfectly. A little different design but.... The thing that they did not improve is the latch or tab that you push to open it. I broke the last one off even though I had only used it once before. I kept pushing on the tab trying to get it to release and it broke off. Now I know that you have to push down on the lid while pushing the tab. This is true even when there are no batteries.FYI: The lantern works without the rechargeable batteries in the detachable lights.

This line of Coleman products is pretty cool, how they are powered by the same battery pack. I do wish they were a little bit lighter, but I guess it's not bad at all for car camping.

PERFECT!!! Rechargeable battery pack sucked because after two camp outs and then storing it for the winter it was dead and wouldn't hold a charge so I bought a few of these for my units and they are perfect!! Holds D-Cell batteries and fits great!

I had to purchase this to replace the one which came with the lantern that somehow broke. I had considered the rechargeable battery pack but to me, after reading many reviews about how the rechargeable battery packs are not up to par, it was the sensible thing to get instead. It worked just fine, and we used it in a lantern the weekend after we had received it with no problems. I would suggest that if you are considering the rechargeable battery pack that instead, you get another one of these and get some rechargeable "D" batteries for both the new one and the one that came with the lantern. In that way when you are recharging a set of batteries, you have some in the lantern. And if you do a lot of car camping as I do, you can charge the "dead" batteries if the site your at has an electric hook up.

I had the rechargeable battery cartridge for my Coleman lantern and it wasn't fitting my needs. I wanted a light to use during power outages, but unless you kept the rechargeable battery charged, the juice would just drain out and was useless when the power did go out. I didn't have to buy a new flashlight; I just replaced the cartridge with one that takes regular batteries and the Coleman lantern works great. If the regular batteries die, then at least I can replace them with fresh batteries and still have a light source. I would have preferred the rechargeable battery cartridge, but I found that unless you use it and charge it frequently, it is not as reliable as the regular battery cartridge.

Fits a lamp several years old, batteries had corroded and exploded. New box was simple to attach, works as shown.

Great replacement for the battery that was in the laturn. Be careful about installing the cartridge. It worked great on my camping in Montana last year.

I was disappointed there was no AC adapter for this product. I had to purchase a battery charger.
