Can I disassemble my Explorer/Apollo battery pack or dry lid?
If you remove the protective Delrin caps, the plastic shrink-wrapping
from your NiMH battery pack, or disassemble the Halcyon dry lid, you
will void your Halcyon warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts
within the pack; if you think that your battery pack or lid might be
damaged, please return the light to your Halcyon dealer for inspection.
The bolts that secure the dry lid are sealed; breaking the seal will void
your light's warranty.
Warning: Your Halcyon Explorer battery pack and dry lid are built
to exacting standards. There are no user servicable parts in either
component; removing the pack's end cap or disassembling the lid can
damage the system's wiring and result in a catastrophic failure.
Do I need to take any special precautions in shipping and handling my
Explorer battery?

following suggestions ensure maximum performance, reliability and
safety in working with the cells:
•Provide proper packaging, considering the weight of the battery
pack, to avoid transit damage.
•Do not store cells or batteries under load or in a shorted condition.
•Avoid excessive handling of charged cells and batteries outside the
Explorer canister.
