Great Long Life Power OptionFeb 02, 2011
By Dan Billings
This battery recently powered my Coleman 4D XPS LED Duo Lantern for two long winter camping nights in sub-freezing temperature. The light dimmed in the near zero temperature, but it was still bright enough to see by, and it never went out. I ran the light approximately 8 hours each night and it still had juice when I got home. It recharged completely in less than an hour.
My one complaint is that the power plug connects at the bottom of the battery, so it can't sit flat while charging. This connection should be on the side or recessed like you see on a cordless phone base. This is minor and does not really affect performance.
One missing feature is a power meter that let's you know if your battery is fully charged or nearly dead.
This battery will save many disposables from going into the trash and it keeps me from running out at the last second for new batteries.

 BUY IT!Apr 27, 2011
By Melissa McCauley
If you have a Coleman lantern that this fits, just buy it. Have you priced good batteries lately? It will more than pay for itself in no time. This rechargeable pack is ingenious and lasts a long, long time. I have never run it down, so I can't attest to how long it lasts, but it got me all the way through Pride And Prejudice again.

BATTERY PACKSep 27, 2010
By Brian
What a fantastic option. I recently purchased a coleman lantern to use this pack with and love not having to worry about constantly buying D batteries, and carrying extra batteries just in case. This pack charges from a standard outlet or from in your car.

 bad luck or bad product?Jul 08, 2011
By dumpus
ordered two battery packs to go with my Coleman CPX6 compatible Tent Fan w/Light (model #2000006895) and a Coleman 4D CPX LED Duo Lantern (model #2000002653) i grabbed at REI. received them promptly. because they're new batteries, i immediately discharged them fully in the tent fan because its the hardest-drawing between the two. both batteries were discharged fully (fan had stopped working) within an hour each. immediately charged both batteries in the provided wall charger for 48 hours each (as recommended in the instructions for full discharge) to ensure full charge. tested one battery in the fan on low setting to test estimated life of battery so i could determine whether to bring one battery or both to power my fan on my upcoming camping trip. first battery lasted no longer than 4 hours. perplexed, i tested the second battery the same and got approximately 5 hours of life. both were far short of the Coleman-advertised 30+ hours. recharged both batteries again for 48 hours and retested again. similar results for each...approx 5 hours. to test as a control, i went out and bought 4 Duracell D-cell batteries and ran fan on same low setting as prior. D-cells gave me more than 40 hours of continuous power before I had to shut it down to leave for my trip. needless to say, the Coleman CPX6 rechargeables stayed home and are in the process of being returned for a refund. kinda sucks because I've had a ton of Coleman products over the years and this is the only product i haven't been thrilled with. meh, oh well. thanks to amazon for being cool with refunds.

Really Useful!Mar 05, 2012
By K. Wood
Last summer when Hurricane Irene blew through here, we were without power for about six days. I bought a Coleman battery operated lantern to help us get through the week. My house was built in 1893, so it isn't too much of a surprise, I guess, that my bedroom can't take too much power drain. I have the lantern on my bedside table now, and have been using it as a nightlight since then. I've had to change the batteries (4 D Cell) once in that time. Knowing this could happen again, I recently purchased this Rechargeable Battery Pack. I'm pleased as punch, as they used to say. It snapped right into place, a much easier process than changing the batteries. The battery compartment snapped right out; so it's ready when this needs a charge. The lantern was brighter than it was with the batteries. It doesn't seem to have drained at all, and it's been a few weeks. Granted, I don't use it a lot, just a little each night, but it's doing the job I asked of it and doing it well. My next purchase is the Portable Energy Pack that can run on 4Ds or this battery pack. It will keep the cell phones and Kindles running should the power go out again. I'll have to get at least one more of these to be sure I'll always have a fresh one should the power go out for an extended time again. I can see that lantern doing porch duty this summer now that I don't have to buy more D cells all the time.
I think this unit that can be used in a lot of different Coleman camping products is a really clever idea, and not just for the consumers. Now Coleman has me wondering what else it powers and whether those items would also be neat new toys. Guess I'll search CPX6...
