"the battery for anyone trying to use the unit is six (6) volt and the outside says a 9 volt house will work and a 12 volt car charger will do the trick but that means they packaged the charger etc wrong as that much juice in that battery will melt it or cause a fire."

"I just tried charging my THIRD Ozark Trail Lantern. Yes, the THIRD! I was ever hopeful of this product.

All THREE batteries blew. They did not explode to cause damage, but cracked making a sound like a gun shot
Two batteries cracked along the top, releasing an oil like substance, the first one just cracked at the edge of the top."

"We bought the Ozark Trail LED Rechargeable Lantern after a camping trip to Watkins Glen State Park. I had forgotten to include our light from home and decided it was time to get one and leave it with our camping gear so it would always be there.

Took it home and charge it per the instructions, worked great when we tried it."

"We purchased this lantern yesterday at Wal-Mart after last week's storm and power failure and wanting to be better prepared besides having candles and flashlights.

I charged the battery with the included charger last night for 12 hours and popped the battery back into the lantern this morning to test it out."

"I thought I was crazy until I read a similar review below. Mine didn't come with a re-chargeable base either! It came with a cigarette charger and a plug-in - but nowhere can it be plugged in!

I think I'll try and return it even though I no longer have the slip. I'm sure Walmart-made-in-China will comp me."

"I was charging the battery in my house as the instruction stated and the side blew off the battery - I heard a loud pop. It had not been on very long. Thank God we were home.

No damage to my house or furniture. I am just glad it was in a corner where no one was hit by the flying plastic."

"I just purchased this lantern at WalMart and am charging it right now for the first time. The instructions that came with it specifically say in bold "Do not charge the battery by other adaptors and cigarette charger cord") Was this warning in your instructions? I'm not pointing my finger at ya, just wondering."

"This lantern gives a wide area of light that makes it easy to do chores after dark at camp. Other than that it's junk.

We had no problems charging the lantern with the AC adapter for the first charge. Next charge was done in the truck while driving."

"We bought the lantern so that it could use it during hurricane season. Worked good at the store and I bragged on it for 1 week then put it up to use it later.

A hurricane was heading in our direction so I took it out to make sure it worked. You could turn the crank for a few minutes and then cut on the light but the battery failed."

"Worked great for a time or so but the battery and charger are HORRIBLE. After 1 trip they just about melted and broke. I definitely won't buy one again. A true hazard as it could have started a fire. I would NOT suggest buying one at ALL."

"Bought this lantern as a Christmas present for my 10-year-old daughter for indoor use. Lantern is bright enough for this purpose, but I could not figure out how to charge it.

After searching online and finding these reviews, I figured out that they did not include the charging base, which is probably a good thing since I don't need to burn down my house."

"We charged the battery at home first and it was okay, but later charged using the car charger provided. We left it in our truck for a few minutes and when we came back smelled something "hot", saw a faint wisp of smoke and immediately unplugged. Not only the charger cradle, but part of the battery itself had melted."
