Make SURE you have the batteries in the right way. If you have a battery turned around it won't work, plus you will likely bend the spring inside and then be unable to get the battery in the right way.

You don't remove the screws!!! Use the plastic 'key' that is in the headstrap to remove the cover (opposite side of the headlamp from the switch). Then shake the headlamp to allow the battery cartridge to slide out.

In the headstrap is a plastic 'key' that you use to remove the battery cover (opposite side of the headlamp from the switch). Once you remove the cover, you can shake the headlamp to let the battery cartridge slide out of the headlamp.
Pay close attention to which way the batteries go in--if you put a battery in the wrong way you can easily bend the springs inside!

If it is the same as the Coleman headlamp I just bought, it claims to have a "easy slide out battery cartridge" On the strap there is a plastic key to unscrew the lid where the batteries are but this doesn't allow you to access them. When you bang the entire thing in your hand to make the cartridge slide out it may not come at first because it is stuck. I partially unscrewed one of the tiny screws on the top of the battery cartridge and pulled on it. This caused it to slide out of the headlamp and I could load it with batteries. I then rescrewed it in gently as its kind of fragile. After this I could get the cartridge in and out by simply tapping the light in my hand with the lid off. The light works great now. Since the screwdriver is so tiny that you need to do this, see if you have a eye-glass repair kit lying around. It may have the size you need.

Question edited for clarity, and remove some 'words' not needed. There is no manual, but for all these lights, it is a tube, threaded both ends. A tail cap on one end and the Cree light module and reflector on the other. Unscrew the tail cap. https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-2000012921-FLASHLIGHT-Technical-Precision/dp/B086C89CFP https://www.google.com/search?q=coleman+ct-50+flashlight+manual ..

Hi,

Please check on the bottom of the lantern for an area that you can twist to open. If this process fails, please call manufacturer for copy of product manual. Thank you.

Please understand that you are talking to regular people who offer advice on FixYa forum, not to Coleman. You could check with your local historical societies or museums.

William, went to Coleman site, looks like you remove screws on bottom of lantern to access and change battery. Check the attached links to your manual, "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. Check out some of my other posts if you need more tips and info." http://r1.coleman.com/Manuals/5327.pdf Rugged Rechargeable Family Size Lantern Coleman Rugged Rechargeable Lantern Replacement Parts Flashlights...
