A friend of mine bought one of these units then died a few months later. (Not from the taser). His wife didn't want it and gave it to me. However, no charger. Anybody know where I can get a charger for this thing?

Mine has a built in wall charger in it. Maybe yours does? It u look under it there should be a kind of lever (mine broke off so I use a car key and push it down to the left to open up the charging prongs to put into the wall) if yours doesn't have this I guess look throughout amazon

I dont know anything about a replacement charger. If Amazon doesnt have one I suggest you call Black and Decker and tell them what you have a I bet they can get a charger for you or tell you where to get one. I hope. sorry I couldnt answer your question. mine still works.

it says to charge it every month which would be a good idea but I've had it for 6 months haven't charged it once and it still fires just fine the only part that sucks about it is that the Taser will not work why the light is on so that would be good to know in a panic situation when light is off taser works extremely well and is very loud

Here is the model number on my charger: SW-045050AI did a quick search & did not find a replacement charger online. You can always take your grinders apart and remove the rechargeable AA batteries and use standard non-rechargeable batteries. If you ever get your charger fixed remember to put the rechargeable batteries back in the grinders. At least you will be able to use them. I'm on my second set in 45 days and now one of my grinder motors has failed. I would look for a better set. Look for a grinder that uses 4 AA batteries instead of the 2 batteries in this unit.

When you first get it, you are supposed to charge it for 10-12 hours and then 1-2 hours every month without use. It isn't very specific about charging it after use but I have just charged it for an hour or two after using it everytime. It comes with a little 8 inch cord charger that plugs into the bottom of the taser. It plugs straight into the wall, there isn't any USB involved. For $20, the flash light itself is awesome and worth it. Then you add the taser portion and it's an awesome deal.

The manufacturer, Streetwise, recommends 8-12 hours of charging. It should be working by now. If not, the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty. However, make certain it is not user error. If it turns out to be user error, they will charge a restocking fee and they will not pay any of the shipping. It will have a master switch on the tail end - near the charging port. Make sure that is turned on. Then, check the flashlight/stun gun switch. All the way back is off. The center position should turn on the flashlight. The forward position puts it in stun gun mode, then you'll need to push the stun gun activation button. Once you can be completely certain it isn't working, then make arrangements to return it for a warranty replacement.

You get some replacement ones here in amazon they even come with some spare batteries. Just Search for "NB-9L Charger" you'll find there the original as well as some third party.

Unfortunately NO. When the manufacturer quit making the units, replacement parts also disappeared. Your charger may still be good, unless it has been damaged, and the battery could now be too weak to recharge. You are not alone in your disappointment. Too bad another manufacturer has not decided to make these handy, useful tools whose parts match all those Total Trimmer users.

The directions advise to charge the device for 5 to 6 hours initially; and then 1 hour once a month to retain the charge. When you plug it in the LED turns red, but mine stays red (even after the 6 hours). The directions state not to overcharge it. Obviously if you use the light or taser function more often, then you most likely would have to charge it more frequently (or possibly longer than an hour). Also, the bright light can still be working and the taser part not fire if it's undercharged. I had this happen (I was walking and a dog was approaching me that seemed like it could bite [fortunately it didn't] but the taser didn't fire even though the light was still working. I thought it must be defective (it wasn't) I recharged the device and the taser works fine. I think that the taser must draw the charge down some (combined with using the light frequently, which I walk late evenings and it gets dark before I get home, so I've been using the light. The light is as bright as most car lights. And no, I would not have actually "tased" the dog at all, just fired in the air (because most all dogs are very frightened by loud sound it makes which is a good deterrent for being bit without causing any harm). The only caveat about "dry firing" the taser in the air is that only do that for a second at a time and then release, because according to the directions you could damage your taser if you fire it for a longer steady hold than one second bursts. Hope that answers your question. I have been very satisfied with this device and the extremely bright light for walking alone has been well worth it. Best of luck!

Sorry, I never used it. It was a gift for someone. I have been told it is not a retractable taser but a contact taser.....

I don't know where you can get them recharged. Maybe a fire station in your neighborhood? But I think most people treat them as disposable. If you ever have to use it enough to empty it, it was worth the money. Buy a new one. That's what I would do.

I don't have this one any longer but I'm going to assume this one was like the Remington I used to have...If that's the case, it won't turn on when it's attached to the charger. I think it's meant as a safety feature. If you're unplugged and it's still not working, I don't have any suggestions other than returning it.

Batteries are fine in my weapon light that I use everyday on duty. The charger however, does not fit the batteries and you can't find any type of return or exchange after the purchase. You're better off buying some other batteries / charger and paying a little more. Or just buy streamlight/surefire batteries in bulk. At least you'll be able to complain to them if the batteries are bad.

Unfortunately no, I already had Stinger chargers. I think it's over $100 with a standard charger.
