“Returned mine”

“Mine would not charge well from either the 12V car charger provided or an AC adapter I already own. I have another similar model egear lantern that I got at STP that works great with those same adapters. Unfortunately that model is no longer available. Strangely, this lantern seemed to work well on the cranking power option, but this option is really only practical if other powering options aren't available. I did not have trouble opening and closing the lantern and the compact nature of the lantern would be a plus. Perhaps something is wrong with the battery on this one. Either way, this one gets returned.”
