Mercury Glass Mason Jars - battery pack not working

One of the battery packs for the Mercury Glass Mason Jars does not work. Is there anything I can use to replace the battery pack - like battery votive candles?

Carol, I have tons of mini string lights that are attached to battery packs. You can find these in Home Depot or Lowe's in the holiday section, and they are around $8. You pop in 3 AA batteries, set them on timer, or timer with phasing, etc., and they will mimic the battery packs that come with the jars.

Thanks for your response Peter. I had the same problem with my mason jars. They were working great and then all the sudden started acting up. If I "jimmy" them just right, I can still make it work, but its a pain. Might just do what you suggested and buy a string at Home Depot.

That's a great idea PeterDM. I will have to do this.
