PT 20 Batteries: Fixed

I just bought a PT20 from the sell thread. I lost the members name and got the
light today. Light looks brand new and I am sure its fine. Has an LED drop in
and I feel stupid but I don't know how the batteries go in it. No markings that
I can see. Anyone? Maybe the guy I bought it from will respond. :thinking:

Hello Marnav1,

With the index ridge facing up, mine has a + mark on the right side and a - mark on the left side.

Since I'm clueless myself on the battery orientation: Do an "advanced search" on your own posts, and restrict the search to the BST area. That should bring up the BST thread where you bought this light from.

Okay thanks guys!

Re: PT 20 Batteries

The battery polarity is indeed marked inside the flashlight.

Trouble is, it's simply *molded* in the plastic body.


That is, with (for example) a Black flashlight -

the markings are black plastic on black plastic.


Not the easiest things to see.



On my own Princeton Tec Tec-20's and Sport Flares,

which are all either Neon Red or Granite Gray in color,

i've taken a Sharpie marker, and carefully "inked in"

the polarity markings. Big improvement for visibility.


Hope this is helpful.


Oh, and one more thing . . . .


For longest life, there's no need to FULLY tighten the head

to turn the light on. Be a bit gentle, and avoid over-tightening.


Oh, and lube the O-ring, too.

Okay, thanks again!
