The flashlights works but nothing else. Using a cheap battery? Do I go buy a Duracell and I will see the stun gun work?

Yes. It only works with a high quality battery. I've only put Duracell in mine since I got it

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.

It has to do with power output. But it would be nice if you didn't have to actually turn the flashlight off and turn the stun feature on and then press the button to stun. It would be better if the light simply dimmed when you hit the button to stun and then lit up once the stun was finished. I haven't seen one like this but it would be a superior product.

I have bought a dozen of these flashlights over the last five years. Initially, they all had the same problem, the switch would only work if held part way on. The answer below this from R. Hennigh about a loose retaining nut is worth a shot, but for all twelve of mine, here's what I had to do, and what I'd recommend you try first. Unscrew the head and tailcaps of the flashlight and remove the battery. Hold the body tube up towards a window or a lamp...can you see through the tube? If not, take a long drift pin, a long dowel rod, anything that can take a good whack and not break...insert into the body tube from the tail (switch) end...when it contacts the plastic disc obstruction in the body tube, hold the tube tightly, and whack the rod with a hammer...HARD! When you dislodge the black plastic disc with the little brass colored rivet in its center, THROW IT AWAY! It serves no purpose, and stops the flashlight from working. Once removed, reassemble the head-end, re-insert the battery, and twist the switch cap back on...it should work fine now. Those caps were supposed to ensure the battery was inserted the correct way...the rivet is slightly indented on the tube side, and slightly proud on the head side. This would stop the flat negative side of the battery from making contact with the L E D driver circuit and destroying it due to reverse polarity...BUT...most 18650 battery positive end tips DO NOT fit the recess in the disc, so it prevents the flashlight from working AT ALL!! I have bought 12 of these lights...had to "modify" all of them. I carry two on me at all times, I have several in my vehicles, and have given some as gifts. In 5 years, the ONLY problem I've ever had was the initial need to modify the lights. Other than that, they are blindingly bright, highly reliable, light weight, and hold a charge regardless of the temperature of the vehicle they are stored in for months at a time. Good luck, and let me know how you made out!

About the defective flashlight stun gun. Should be returned to the seller for replacement.

Batters or Batteries???If your answer is battery, this type of flashlight uses different type of batteries. When you order this flashlight, they will offer you the kind of batteries it uses. I would recommend to get 2 extra batteries for emergency purposes. Trust me, you will not regret getting this flashlight....... unless you are very picky and very critical. For the price, you cannot beat this. But if you are critical, spend $150.00 worth of flashlight and I still hope that you will be satisfied.....

I did a lot of research and watched a lot of videos when I bought my flashlight. The batteries will definitely work in your flashlight.

I would suggest you make your own battery pack or buy a different light. My battery pack was dead on arrival. I haven't opened mine up, I started to pull the rubber stand off to get to the batt pack but it's glued on. It'll be damaged if I can't find another way. It's probably got 3 AA cells wired in series to give 7.2V. If I can't hack this to use AA or AAA 'Eneloop' batteries I will dispose of it.

This is a rechargeable flashlight and the batteries can't be removed. Only our 180 lumen stun gun flashlight has a removeable battery.

It will not. Most of the flash light stun guns have a light on off and a light selector. You will need to push the selector to the on position to use it. Easy enough to do if in a situation where you needed it, flip switch back with thumb ad push the button :-)

The two 9 volt batteries help create the high amperage that the stun gun is making, the down side is that with extended use they won't last long, good thing you only need to apply short burst's. It is also a very good idea to remove the batteries if the wand is not in use. This is a good idea if it is in a hot or humid climate, they will leak and ruin the stun gun.

I did not have success with them, only temporarily. Due to higher voltage, 4.2 Volts, they have a regulator that cuts off when ever he wants and your flashlight will go dark, even do the voltage will read 3.2 on the voltmeter.I used them in a NOVA flashlight. Rechargeable batteries made 2 or more years ago with different technology worked fine, and their initial voltage after charging was 3.2 V. Honestly I don't know what are this batteries for, I will not risk an electronic devise with them. I am an electronics engineer. Sorry Tenergy.

I have not tried fresh new batteries in the light yet. the batteries that came with it are operating, but have weakened. I had the light on for about 10 hours before it weakened. I am sure some Duracell would do much better.

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.

It is a different battery than what you are use to it is. Longer than a AA and fatter, get the battery and charger when you buy your flashlight .

The flashlight uses a 18650 lithium ion rechargeable battery. There are many brands, but the PanSonic and Tenergy brands are the only consistently good ones out there that accurately represent the capacity of the battery. If you buy those brands, you only need one battery, as the flashlight takes only one. If you buy other brands, buy at least 2, as one is likely to go bad or have a short life. Make sure to buy "protected cell" battery's, and don't forget to buy a battery charger as well. I have bought cheap chargers, and had no problems. All in all you shod expect to pay around 15-20 bucks for a decent battery and a charger. The flashlight uses a 18650 lithium ion rechargeable battery.

No, I bought a set of rechargeable batteries for mine and it ruined the batteries the guy at batteries pluss advised me you cannot use rechargeable batteries for these flashlights and it ruines the batteries!
