This is a round-up of info about lanterns that use the square, spring terminal lantern battery.
Some lanterns come with an interchangeable battery holder that takes 4 'D' cells instead.
Adapter so you can use 4 x D cells instead:
Summary from rayovac datasheets: mAH @ 0.5A
There is an SLA version (5AH):
If you need a replacement bulb:
Just for fun:
For the bulbs, higher Lumen ratings drains batts faster (no free lunch), and take the AH and L ratings with the usual grain of salt. I did not include the standard PR or Krypton bulbs. If there any errors, let me know I will correct them.

- BA4D-S-ND (Digikey; OEM = BatteryHolders)
- BAP 7400021 Battery Adapter Pack (Humminbird)
- 41-0805 4D Adapter (DorcyDirect)
Summary from rayovac datasheets: mAH @ 0.5A
- 808 = 15.8, alkaline 4 x F cell (BatteryJunction)
- 806 = 11.1, alkaline 4 x D cell
- 6V-HDM = 8.6, heavy duty maximum
- 6V-HD = 6.1, heavy duty
- 6V-GP = 4.8, general purpose
- 528 = 4 x F alkalines (screw terminal, discontinued)
- 529 = 4 x D alkalines
There is an SLA version (5AH):
- D1724 Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger (UPG)
- UB650S Sealed Lead Acid Battery-Lantern (UPG)
- PS-650L UPS battery (Powersonic)
- WKA6-5SP (Werker)
If you need a replacement bulb:
- generic halogen: HPR36 (93L), HPR50 (85L, Rat Shack), HPR55 (48L); Bulbtown, etc.
- 41-1697 (Dorcy halogen, 66L)
- LZ13 (Lumilite Xenon, L = ?)
- LMSA401 (M*g halogen, L = ?)
- KPR103 (overdriven krypton 3D bulb)
- 41-1644 (Dorcy LED, 40L, yes: polarity reversible :huh:)
Just for fun:
13 x 5mm LED lantern, instead of standard, deep reflector (Dorcy 41-1046
)For the bulbs, higher Lumen ratings drains batts faster (no free lunch), and take the AH and L ratings with the usual grain of salt. I did not include the standard PR or Krypton bulbs. If there any errors, let me know I will correct them.
