Replacement Battery holder for Dorcy 3 Watt

tslrc · Jan 11, 2007

Does anyone know if you can purchase replacements for the battery holders in flashlights. The one in my Dorcy 3 Watt, 3AAA holder has 2 small cracks at the rear end, and it is increasingly difficult to slide the battery holder into the light after switching batteries. I checked the Dorcy site, and didn't see any, I emailed them and so far haven't heard back.

Thanks for any advice!

You can fix them with a washer and a little glue.

Give them a call and tell them the problem. I've found them to be pretty good about things like that.

I might have to give them a call, and try the repair suggested above if need be.

Thanks!

I heard back from Dorcy, and they said to give them the model number, which I did, and they'd drop one in the mail. Just wanted to followup, they responded fairly quickly, I guess I was just impatient that one of my 'fleet' of lights was ill.

I will try the above repair on the current holder once I get the new one.

I received the replacement holder yesterday, the Dorcy contact just needed the model of the light. pretty fast service, and just in time as after the last battery change, the old holder split even more.

I'll try the above repair now that I have the new one.
