    • To disassemble the main body, grip the lantern so that the front half of the body with the power button on it is in your right hand and the back half with the hand crank is in your left.

    • Pinch the front half of the body on both sides with your thumb and index finger just below the first extruding rim of the front plate while simultaneously pulling the back half away. This may take some effort to do.

    • Be careful to not pull the halves of the body away from each other too hard because the internal wires connecting internal components may break.

    • Take note to remove and set aside black screw mounts located in between the halves at the bottom of the lantern.

    • When putting the front and back plates together during reassembly, make sure to slide the extruding screws from the base of the globe through the corresponding grooves cut into the top of the front and back plates of the main body.

    • The main power board is located directly behind the power button, screwed into the front plate.

    • Locate the green rechargeable battery on the back plate. It is press fit into the housing near the bottom of the back half.

    • Trace the red and black wires from the battery to the white clip connecting them to the main power board. Pull out the white clip from the socket on the main board. This will sever the electrical connection between the battery and the rest of the lantern.

    • Now that the wires are removed, remove battery from housing on the back plate.

    • Do not remove battery by pulling on the red and black wires. If necessary, use a screwdriver as a lever-arm to pry the battery from its housing.

    • Attach the wires from the new battery to the correct area of the main board where the old wires were removed.

    • Make sure grooves on the clip holding the red and black wires together align with the pins in the socket on the main board before inserting.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
