How to Properly Maintain and Charge Your Stun Gun

Charge on a schedule, not just when it’s empty. A weekly top-up via the included Type-C cable keeps the internal battery in good health and avoids surprise dead spots.

Store your stun gun somewhere dry and at room temperature. Extreme heat or cold can shorten battery life and affect performance over time.

Test the device periodically in accordance with the included instructions to confirm it’s functioning — but always follow local regulations regarding test discharges.

Keep the contact points clean and free of debris. A soft, dry cloth is usually enough; avoid submerging the device or using liquid cleaners near the charging port.

If your model includes a disable pin or wrist strap safety feature, make sure it’s reset and the device is armed before you head out — an unarmed device provides no protection.
