What type of battery does this use? It looks like a lithium ion oval disk, but there are no identifying markings on it.

 

An optional dual-purpose cargo lamp (1) includes a removable and rechargeable flashlight (5). The flashlight is encased within a molded plastic housing, which is secured within the cargo lamp housing by two tabs on the end opposite the clear flashlight lens and a push-push type latch mechanism. The cargo lamp remains functional with or without the flashlight installed in the lamp housing. The flashlight is powered by a rechargeable and replaceable lithium battery. A momentary switch on the flashlight electronic circuit board is actuated by a plastic push button (3) located on the side of the flashlight housing. When the flashlight is turned ON it illuminates two clear Light Emitting Diode (LED) units (2) to create a wide and bright light beam. A red LED unit (4) on the side of the flashlight housing behind the push button illuminates as the battery becomes discharged to indicate that the unit requires recharging. The incandescent cargo lamp bulb, the cargo lamp lens, the flashlight battery and the flashlight unit are each available for separate service replacement. If any other component of the lamp or the flashlight are damaged or ineffective, the complete cargo lamp or flashlight unit must be replaced.

I know that is information over load. The battery part number is 5183454AA and retails for $6.70 at a dealer.....

 

hanks for that quick response. That's what I needed to know.

 

Well, one more thing. When i put a smaller battery in it, the light worked briefly. The red light never came on to say it needed charging. Wonder if the cargo lamp is charging it at all. Thanks.

 

So I got this on ebay, and of course it was dead when I got it, cause my Caliber is used, and of course that and the trunk cover were snatched beforehand. If anyone is stupid like me, remember that you have to have the car on to charge it. duh
