Battery troubleshooting
GB LASER2S will not power on
Start with a fresh CR2 3V lithium battery and confirm the polarity shown inside the GB LASER2S battery compartment. Because this model uses a replaceable cell, a known-good battery is the quickest way to rule out a power issue.
Fresh CR2 battery but still no power
Confirm the cell is CR2 rather than CR123/CR123A, then inspect the spring/contact surfaces for dirt, corrosion or a battery that is not seated fully under the cap.
Intermittent power after wet weather
The GB LASER2S is listed as IPX4. Even so, check the battery compartment and seal for moisture or debris before installing another battery.
Battery drains faster than expected
If the GB LASER2S is consuming CR2 3V lithium cells unusually quickly, try a fresh reputable battery and inspect the compartment for moisture, corrosion or a cap that is not closing tightly.
