I need a new battery plate. Where do I get one? The battery keeps coming loose because i don't have the plate that keeps it in.

Listen to the first guy, I thought it was another rc for a sec, your going to have to build one for the time being. It's a toy rc so there really isn't much else you can do, but another thing you can try is to find a used or broken one on eBay and use it for parts. Hope this helps.

you can make a new plate out of cardboard or a small sheet of plastic. Or get a 2 inch wide strip of velcro and sew on the hook side on one end and use that. There are no spare parts available for this model. I tried to seach for a new axle after a kid steeped on the rear wheel and broke it.

WOW, I just wasted a lot of time trying to find that battery. It is not named in the owners manual, eton does not have it listed with other batteries for sale on their site. Amazon does not have it, nor does anyone else. Do you have the old battery? Take it to radio shack!!

It may just be your battery. They do sell spares, and third-party replacements are available on Amazon and elsewhere.

I had to return mine, it would not stay closed, which drained my battery. Good luck finding one. You could probably make one in Dodocase.com

Yes, I took it apart and found a new battery online. The tricky part was getting the rubber bumpers off so I could get all the screws out. BTW, the B&D people told me it couldn't be done.

On back side of light- slide plate over and remove. There is two battery compartments under the plate.

I went to a local BatteriesPlus store. They were incredibly helpful, and I know customer service and future attention to my needs will be better than if I bought the batteries online. Remember, batteries have a limited life-span and will need to be replaced. Buy them somewhere you can trust for reliable and consistent attention in the future.

I looked at my old battery and it has no number on it, I saved it so I could take it into a store and get one like it. I also checked the info sheet that came with it and that was of no help either. Have you tried to ask the Spark people? Some one there should be able to tell you. As for the store to buy it.......I have had luck with buying batteries for my food scale at ACE Hardware. You might also try Walmart. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.......Good luck.

There is a backplate but it looks like there is none! (I thought the same thing too when I first got it!) If you look hard you will see that the back plate is more like an "open frame" around the back of the unit. There is a little lip that you lift to lift the plate. Once you open that frame plate, the batteries will fit and it slips right back on to keep the batteries in place. However it is open in the middle so you do see a lot of the battery area! Hope this helps. It's there...just lift the little tab!

Wish I could help...same thing happened to me and no one was able to tell me where I could get another battery. I now have portable tv that I cannot watch & cannot return. If you get an answer, please share.

Flip the light compartment up, and under that is a silver plate. At that point you should be able to see the locking hinges that hold the plate in place. The batteries are under that plate.Hope that this answer will help you.

I got my last one from Batterysharks.com. Item NB6-4.5. All you have to do is take it apart. take out the screws and the brace that holds it in and put the new one in. very easy. you can do a google search for that item as well. call 800-657-1303 or order@batterysharks.com

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it.They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working.That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper.Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

I had a similar problem. Bummer. To fix the problem I had, I inserted a metallic washer between two batteries,that would make contact with the center conductor on the battery, but not large enough to touch the outer conductor of the battery. Now, everything is held tight enough to make good contact. The washer used is a counter sink type, so it fits around the center conductor, and can't move around. It has to be the correct size, to fit the battery + pin. Something else might work better, but this works for me. A spring that fit tightly around the center pin of the battery would probably also work, but I didn't have one on hand.

I do not know of one. I would take the battery to Battery Plus and see if they can replace it for you.

Tom, I got my battery from the manufacture but I think you could check places like Battery Plus. They may have the battery or a similar set up. Good luck!

I'm not sure what you mean. If the battery holder is defective then you can contact us at our customer service email and we'll get you a replacement.
