If you are talking about the Coleman 4345 lantern it is rechargeable using one of the chargers (mains or car) stored in the base. Are you saying it won't recharge?

It sounds like the internal battery is faulty. Have you tested the time the light will stay on at low setting against what the advertising says 66 hours? The Cree Light module has a current sensor in it and will cut off when there isn't enough current.
As far as the missing part, you can probably go to the manufacturers site and find one. You may find it on E-Bay. The one large vs 8 D cells is an easy one. I have lights that use either. Some lights come with an extra part that looks like a large battery but is actually a holder for 8 d cells that will replace the large battery.
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,

Drop a couple of drops of WD 40 on the bulb retaining ring. Let site overnight and in the morning it will easily unscrew. Note: be sure you use only a couple of drops as you don't want to get it on the reflective lense
It's easy once you figure it out. Unscrew the top and then push down on the exposed screw threads with your thumb. The internal "guts" slide out the bottom.
Since batteries and bulbs are new/ok, check for a bad connection. In older version using 4 lantern batteries, open the battery compartment by unscrewing the knob on top of lantern. The lantern bottom comes off once unscrewed (of course you did this to change batteries). There is a "C" clip on the lantern center shaft; remove this by prying with screwdriver or with pliers. Carefully raise the battery contact plate and check slip-on wire connections. Clean as needed (Scotch-Brite works well) and reconnect. Squirt some contact cleaner in exposed switches, work switches back and forth. Inspect circuit board for obvious corrosion or damaged parts (this damage may "total" the lantern). Re-install plate aligning grooves with ribs. Install batteries and test.
The adapter need to match the charge voltage requirements of the battery in the Swissgear lantern. This voltage maybe written on a label on the lantern. i suggest go to the shop where you purchased the lantern for the charge adapter.
If it is the yellow floating lantern you have to remove the black plastic stub on the underside of the reflector using needlenose pliers to wiggle and slightly pull until it releases and the bulb will come out.
