Your responded to the problem on the coleman lantern fan radio. I bought one at a yard sale, and it didn't have the charger. Do you know the specs on the charger - volts & amps?
Thanks,
Mike

Might find a manual and it might have the answer https://searchmanuals.net/search7/?keyword=%2Bmanuals&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwc7jBRD8ARIsAKSUBHKEI80Q6CieEEng39GMJDInaMWCYCawMEogJFIuB4mhUxn45mkkNpoaAna6EALw_wcB

This fan/lantern/radio was sold under numerous name brands, and is supposed to come with not only a wall wart, (plug in power supply) but it should have also included a 12VDC cigar lighter cord so it can be charged in your car/truck/SUV, etc. The included car adapter is not a standard variety. It has a special resistor inside the plug that limits the amount of charging current. This is very important. Too much current, and the battery could overheat and be rendered useless, or worse, it could literally explode inside the lantern housing. Your best bet is to locate a universal supply, and set it for 7.5 or 8 VDC maximum, and the plug polarity should be what is called "tip positive" Don't assume that an aftermarket wall wart is "tip positive" check it with a volt meter if you have one available to you. If not, ask your friends, neighbors, or call a local Amateur Radio club and ask if there is someone who would be willing to check for the proper voltage and polarity before you try it. It is a very simple check and I'm sure that they will be happy to assist you. As an aside, there is a little compartment in the bottom of the lantern. Mine came with a small emergency kit with a band-aid or two, monofilament line, a hook, and two matchbook type matches. Very odd, but it was a nice touch. God luck, and have fun with your fan.
SOURCE: how to fit a mantel to a coleman propane lantern
Hi, First remove the knurl nut on the top. Remove the top and then the glass globe. There are several types of mantels most of which tie with a string that is part of the mantel top. The newer ones have a wire clip in place of the string. Which ever type you had on before you need to remove the old pieces completely. Since the mantles burn to an ash they will disintegrate when touched but if it had the metal clip you need to remove it. Tie or clip the new mantle over the lip on the output orifice being careful with the screen underneath. Replace the glass globe and top, put the nut back on finger tight. Remember that the mantel turns into ash when it burns for the first time so keep the gas low to start it till the mantle forms properly ( in the first minute) Good Luck, this should Fixya!

Check the battery with a volt meter to make sure you have the correct voltage. If not, replace battery. If correct voltage, bypass switch to determine if it is good or not. If not, replace. There really isn't much to go wrong on the lanterns except the bulb or battery.

Remove the plunger and oil the leather diaphram with light oil similar to 3 in 1 oil, and expand the diaphram until it is no longer stiff and contracted. If you do not know how to remove the plunger let me know.

Make sure that the vapourised fuel is coming through the mantle before lighting up. You should hear a hissing sound when the flame adjusting lever is turned to high. If not it is possible that the generator is clogged up and that vapourised fuel is not getting through to the mantle. So when you light up you are essentially just burning the mantle. If the generator is knackered it will need to be replaced. One way to check it to remove the generator, primed the tank and turn the valve on. If fuel spurts out when the generator is removed (DON'T LIGHT IT U)P THOUGH) but there is no hissing sound when the generator is intact then it is a sure sign that the generator is clogged up. In the UK a replacement generator should set you back £10-15. Hope this helps, Bandit
