Are you sure?

If you take the screw out in the bottom bracket, what happens?

It probably clips together. After you know how to take it apart, it will probably be easy. But you may break it finding out.

Perhaps squeezing thew top and bottom together at the same time whilst pulling on the top will separate them? I have a few items including a couple of bicycle lights that use that procedure to access the battery compartment.

Good luck and cheers

Doesn't look like it is worth any effort. Excuse to get a good light!

theres no marking anywhere to suggest it.

I don't know how good that light is. If it is good, and you want to continue using it, I suggest you buy rechargeable batteries and battery chargers.

If that light is not that good, I like these lights which are 350 lumens, charged by exposure to sunlight, and have a built in horn. You can buy them on ebay for less than US$15.




Check out prices, but rechargeable batteries and battery chargers may cost nearly as much as one of these lights.

It is designed for One-time-use only? Maybe you need to ask the customer service for a manual.
