Hey,
I have an older Coleman propane lantern with electronic ignition. The battery is not replaceable. The lantern model is 5145700B.
I took it out today while I took a break from placing sandbags around doors, taking outdoor furniture indoors, etc. Man, I'm bushed. Too old for this crap.
Anyway, I guess the battery the electronic ignition runs on is shot. It's not sparking, damn it.
Will it be safe to remove the top and the globe and hold a match by the mantles and then replace the globe and screw the top back on?
I won't be using it indoors, just outside. I just want to save flashlight batteries.
Thanks!
