If I were to wall mount this in our trailer...do the batteries slide in and out easily, or are they in so that they stay put while in transit

We have two, and we store them flat next to each other on a shelf. The batteries would fall out if they were wall mounted. We like them very much despite that. They keep the batteries organized and accessible.

Batteries are loose in cavities and fall out just from vibration of the washer and doors closing nearby. We had to put ours in a drawer.

There is no pressure from the caddy to hold the batteries in position. i.e. This caddy would need to be horizontal or require a self-made non-conductive cover for use in a trailer or RV.

They will fall out easily! I would recommend laying it down, inside a cabinet. They fit loosely.

It stays in place because the left side is like a slider door that has a spring and keeps it in place so when you plug it into the wall it doesn't fall out because of the grip of the springy door i never had any troubles with that part my only down fall is it takes it a whole day to charge your battery its a very slow charger hope I answered your question.

There is a backplate but it looks like there is none! (I thought the same thing too when I first got it!) If you look hard you will see that the back plate is more like an "open frame" around the back of the unit. There is a little lip that you lift to lift the plate. Once you open that frame plate, the batteries will fit and it slips right back on to keep the batteries in place. However it is open in the middle so you do see a lot of the battery area! Hope this helps. It's there...just lift the little tab!

Hi Dukesteer, I am sorry but I can not provide an estimated life on the batteries as that will depend on the type of battery and the settings of the item. It is easy to get to the battery compartment. This item will come with a hanging piece to mount on the wall. Then the item itself will hang on that piece. The battery compartment is in the back of the item, so you will just need to remove it from the mounting device. I hope you find this information helpful. - Crystal, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I have mine screwed into the wall. The lightbulb covers slide off and I believe the bulbs screw in.

2. It's easy to take the battery out and replace it, but there is no stop, so the battery can fall out when the entire battery holder comes out (if you're not careful). This happened to me and the battery fell on the floor. Now I don't see in what orientation the battery should be when a new one is put in (positive up or down).

Mine has two small tabs on the battery cover at one end that slide in first, then the other end of the battery cover snaps into place. Mine stays securely there.

...NO...Mine is mounted under the Hoods of my Trucks and permanently connected to the Batteries...no problem!! :-) :-)

Battery doors are in bottom. There are 2, one set on each side. There is push clip on front side of door,,,just push it toward middle, while pulling up simultaneously. Just a fingernail in slot should do it easily. Mine were so loose, I have to put scotch tape over the retaining clip on the door, or the batteries fall out while in use.

The battery compartment at the back of my remote opens quite easily. There is a down arrow with the word "open" over it. Are you trying to put the batteries in the remote? And not the part that plugs into the wall?

I don't know about mounting it securely to a wall of an RV, but you can tighten the arm joints so that the arm is very stiff. It is difficult to move if tightened firmly (really holds the TV in place), so loosening it back up would be required if it needed to be adjusted to a better angle after travel. Not having tried to tighten/loosen mine very often, I can't say if the joints would wear or lose tension after long-term, repeated adjustment. Hope that is helpful.

For mine to stay in I actually ended up screwing it in to the top of the sliding door frame for stability. It definitely took about 30 min to get it situated the first time that I installed it and it is not something that i would continually move in and out. It would be possible but a big hassle. It would be much easier to insert the panel.

I leave mine mounted in my truck. I don't leave it charging, for I'm afraid it might damage it. The good thing is, when it gets low, it flashes and warns you the battery is low. I then just simply plug it in and let it charge. It holds a charge for a good while.

There is a piece on the back that slides out for mounting purposes. Take that piece off the battery compartment is there.

It would be hard b/c you hook it to the screw on the back. You don't want to mount it so it will be hard to take it down to replace the batteries.

The battery comes in a pouch that has a velcro attached to it. You can use it to "mount" anywhere, but it is not really sturdy/stable. Other than that the light is great.

To gain access to the battery compartment, you must first separate the unit from its wall mount bracket by sliding it toward the open end of the bracket. I suppose you've tried this already, but it's really difficult the first time and much force is required. I finally succeeded by working my fingers under the rim of the bracket and pulling it directly away as if prying off a bottle cap. Once separated, it slides on and off easily.
