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

The only suggestion is to find a plug end that fits and give it a try. The cord I have is very short and plugs into the wall outlet. The only other option is to find a vendor online or on Amazon and contact them. I just looked at my cable and it's not marked at all. I will say this, if you are able to charge it, keep your fingers away from the metal strips on the side. Yep you guessed it and it hurt like heck and it didn't even get the full dose as I released it as soon as I felt the jolt. It ached for a good 3 hours afterwards so I wouldn't and don't want to know what a full dose would feel like. good luck The only suggestion is to find a plug end that fits and give it a try.

I didn't see any specific references to a replacement charger. It's usually the battery that dies. However, I believe Radio Shack has some chargers including universal chargers with a variety of outputs and plug connectors. It shouldn't be difficult to match the output specifications on their replacement units to your non-working charger and it should work fine. I would check the output of your old charger first. As I said the batteries are usually the weak spot. Amazon stocks replacement batteries for the Gizmo.

Make sure it is charged for at least 8 hours and also that the slide button is set to taser. Does the LED flashlight work? If these things don't work it sounds to be defective.

yes, they sell it here on Amazon. I had the same issue, but just buying another drill was $7 more than the charger. So now I have two drills and works out better because if I am working on a project and one starts getting low, I have the other ready to go.

I had the same problem. I found, the "hard to find" charger on ebay. The price was $80, give or take $10.

Heya. Yeah, I had one of these too. Somewhere on the unit, there's a small square/rectangular slot. that's the charging port. It should have come with a charging cord. It's been a while since mine was stolen though and I could be wrong. It may use micro USB to charge instead. if you want a new one, serch for one on 'The Wirecutter'.

Hi Xander :) great choice on the Surge,it's my EDC and I love it,I also purchased it from Proto Sales as you appeared to do.they were excellent with me,the price was the best hands down (51 dollars cheaper than Home Depot etc).I asked them the same question and they werent sure,but yes I did recieve what is listed at the bottom of the page the 830278 updated model,the one in the picture is slightly different,you can watch videos on YouTube to see the differences,the old model was great and this one is even better! I sent and called Amazon and have been asking them to update the picture,hopefully they will and If your experience is like mine you will get the 830278,one way to tell is the old one had a diff. model #,you can try and email proto Sales if you want,but you should be allset,hope it works as well as it did for me and your new surge is very useful and enjoyable!

I got a hold of the company directly and they sent me another battery. The first one died about 3 months after getting it and so did the new batteries. Love the knife but the batteries are no good. You can try ebay. Someone may have some extras.

FYI&gt;.... Hope this helps you: the collar recently broke on this unit so I called PetSafe and they informed me that this model is discontinued and extra collars and spare parts are no longer available. I bought their new product line (PetSafe Yard Max Rechargeable) that is replacing the UltraSmart product line directly from PetSafe at a discount.

I don't have a clue. As I understand it, there is no amperage with the charge, so it's not enough power to light up Atlanta, GA. Still, I wouldn't "play" with it. I know of no way to test it, except to "dry-fire" it and watch the sparks. I haven't even tried that. The flashlight works fine, the holster is very functional, so I assume the "stun gun" will work fine as well. Sorry, that's all I can tell you. If you "dry-fire " it, and you see sparks, I would assume it works just fine. 28 million volts...?? Who knows. It won't take that much power by far to discourage an attacker. Hal I don't have a clue.

I have been looking but can only find the car charger for $20 online. I had another 6 volt charger and bought a plug in connector for the charging port and wired it in. Currently charging my unit. I was close to ordering a complete unit including the wall charger, car charger and the zap light for $50 on Amazon prior to finding my alternate fix.

I needed one and went to radio shack, it cost as much for a charger as a new gun. So I now have two guns and one charger.

I had to buy a new watch to get a new charger. Then (of course) I found my old charger. Skycaddie should sell the chargers separately.

I bought a MSI 120 this past March for my grandson and the charger died in September. I've tried to purchase a new charger from the MSI site and have it sent directly to my grandson but they refused to send it unless I added his address to my charge card. I told them I was not going to do that so they canceled my order. I've not been able to find a reputable online site for a replacement. Can you provide the URL of the site you bought your replacement? Thanks.

I am wondering the same thing...I just purchased the flashlight myself and for those that own it...I would like to know if it comes with a charging station or if I need to buy that separately?

It has unlimited "shots" as long as it's charged. Keep in mind this isn't the type of taser that "shoots", it has two metal prongs on the end of the device that generates a spark between the two as long as youre holding down the button. I hope this helps answer your question! :)

I don't know why it costs more. It could be because it can be plugged up to charge or because it doesn't really look like a stun gun. I got mine because where I live, the maintenance man has come into my apartment unannounced.
