Battery troubleshooting
COOLSHOT 40 will not power on
Start with a fresh CR2 3V lithium battery and confirm the polarity shown inside the COOLSHOT 40 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 COOLSHOT 40 is listed as No. Even so, check the battery compartment and seal for moisture or debris before installing another battery.
Older model drains batteries quickly
The COOLSHOT 40 dates from 2015, so battery contacts, compartment seals and age-related electrical wear are worth checking if fresh batteries are draining unusually fast.
