Is getting it recharged difficult, as it uses "Halgaurd", which i assume is not a standard thing to get charged up?

Recharge has to be done by a qualified extinguisher company as Halon requires special equipment. You can find local companies on by searching Google.

I haven't really payed much attention to the time to recharge, but it hasn't been a problem. My problem with it is that sporadically it quits and I have to turn it off and turn it back on. When this happens it does it repeatedly, typically till I get frustrated with it and stop using it. It only seems to do this when I am using it in a vehicle, plugged into the radio from the earplug jack. I have been charging it from the computer USB port.

UPDATE...from my orginal question/post.I decided NOT to use their charging system. Like you Julie I have not noticed any problems. Infact, it is really easy. You take out the rechargables and throw them on the charger. (which also charges quickly) I am already using the charger for the CD player and digital camera anyway!I have been doing the charging this way for almost six months.

You can charge that if you can get it to work. I was not able to charge a single battery with mine. It keeps shutting off like it is overloading or something. Total junk. Buy something better. You get wht you pay for.

It is not rechargeable! It's a fully charged battery. If it's not running your device, alarm, etc. it's either the wrong battery or defective.

The charger is kinda tricky, just let the charger find it's spot. It will slide onto the front, directly below the white charging light. It will make a few beeps and then buzz. You'll know if you're on the right place or not, and try to always let it charge overnight. You'll be good to go!

Agree with other 2, make sure it charged because that's how you turn it on. I've had no trouble with mine, works beautifully.

Usually it is the battery. Take a battery you know is still chargeable and see if it recharges.

Rechargeable is what I have been using. I don't believe they charge up like that.

we're currently using recharbeables in our sets. They seem to work well, I haven't had to replace yet (just been playing a couple of times). Actually, I did have to replace almost right away - it turns out two of the 6 were not fully charged. The gun would still tag/receive tags, but the special effects were all off and the voice/sound effects were V...E...R...Y.......S...L...O...W... but it was a good warning, and at least I could finish that game effectively. If that's what we have to look forward to, I'm pretty happy with how the tagger handles low battery.

The way it comes out of the box you halve to charge with the USB. You can buy a charging adapter from Amazon. I had a suitable charger that has the same wattage, so I didn't buy one. Either way of charging works great.

Using the cord with a standard outlet is the best way to charge it. Make sure you have it turned on while you're charging it as well.

Hi, ours is fairly new so I haven't let it sit real long, but it is holding well. It says to recharge after each use though. When we first charged it was real hard to tell how fully it was charged. There is an LED display, but not real helpful.

Antigravity sells the special charger for the battery but not really needed I have had mine for about a year and hasn't had a problem yet! I went out of the country for a month and came back fired right up.

It looks like the batteries have to be removed to be charged (which makes me question why it's called 'rechargeable'?) The plug cord is removable and works fine - but only to power the unit directly. (as I understand it)

mine charged up no problem. It may be a bad charger or something is drawing from the battery as its charging or maybe a dud battery. Try a different charger if you can.
