I currently have a few ziplights in fixing right now. The standard AAAAs will not fit. They are to long. You have to find a 9v battery and rip it apart for the fuel cells. Not all 9v batteries have them though. A few have flat cells. Also you can get an updated version of the ziplight called the fliplight on Amazon.

If you have a batteries plus bulbs in your area they will have that original bulb and AAAA batteries. That bulb is whats used in a 2 aaa cell mini maglite. I can't remember the exact part number but its like LM2A or something. You can find exact LED replacements as well online but Batteries Plus will have the original.

did zippo not expect people to replace the batteries in these? seems kind of strange the box doesn't say what type of batteries it takes...

The easiest way to get AAAA batteries is to buy them. Sometimes 9v batteries do have them inside but not always and its a pain to get them out.

Like others stated only some do. I tore apart a duracell coppertop, a duracell procell, and an energizer not too long ago and I believe both the duracells had quad A's and the energizer was a stack of custom cells. I can't remember for sure that was the situation but I believe that was it. If I remember at work tomorrow I will take a copper top apart and see. I work at a battery store so I have tons of old ones ready to be taken apart.

Energizer actually stole the bunny from Duracell as a satire/joke. It was then well received by the public and they kept the bunny. Look up the Duracell bunny commercial, they had it first! Great video as always Jeff.

There is enough space to fit lipo cell inside and switch that bulb to 3mm white LED, not sure why they didn't upgrade it. Using disposable battery in 2020 is a big downside. Also quick tip : you can get AAAA batteries from some alkaline 9v batteries.
@MuvoTX4 жыл бұрын
Cool vid Jeff. Good luck with the restoration. It looks like theres nothing to retain the bulb and keep it from pulling/falling out the front. Zippo inserts are kind of cool. Ever think about doing a video review of all your inserts?

It would be cool if you got an upgraded bulb for it as well. Just to show the difference between 1990's bulb technology and modern LED technology. Honestly after seeing how easy it is, I might just buy a zip light and do the upgrade myself just because.

Those are not really AAAA batteries, but they have almost the same dimensions, they are just slightly shorter, and yes they are 1,5v cells. They are the same that can be found inside some 9v batteries, Energizer 9v batteries has them inside. But some other brands use flat cells(not round sticks). In some car remotes (Audi for example) needs those pseudo-AAAA batteries, as regular AAAA ones don't fit. Anyway, regular AAAA batteries shold fit inside the ZIPLIGHT, and if they don't, you now know where to get those pseudo-AAAA ones. :)
