I just got this gun today and im wondering how long you are supposed to charge the battery... I have only charged it for 1hr and smells bad like some.

if you can smell the battery it probably is bad or your overcharging it.. How long you should charge your battery is totally dependant upon how many milliamps or mA it has. If it has 1400mA it will charge much faster than a battery with 2800mA. Now look at your converter, you will notice several things on the sticker that will be affixed to it. We are looking for the output rating on it specifically. It usually says something like "OUTPUT: DC 8.4v 300mA" but changes from brand to brand and model to model. See that 300mA on the charge? That's how many mA its charges per hour so if you have a 1500mA battery and a 300mA charger its just simple math from this point.So it will take 5 hours total to charge a completely dead/new battery to its full capacity. You simply divide the mA on the charge to the mA of your battery and you will get the time it should take to fully charge a completely drained battery. This does mean to set it and forget it though. In most cases your battery has already been charged once even if still new for quality control purposes so you really need to keep an eye on your battery still.

Get a battery charger specifically designed for the 8.4v battery. Go to www.airsoftgi.com. It is a great source for everything you will need.

Hi Dianne 1 - Charge the Battery in the Gun with the USB Charger. Note the Blue Light on the Bottom of the Handle on the Gun is On when it is charging. The Light Goes out when fully Charged 2 - Plug the USB Wireless Receiver Dongle into a USB Poert on the PC. Give it about a minute to Install 3 - With the Dongle in - Start up a word processor 4 - With a Blank Page up scan a Bar code. The Code will appear at the Cursor Note: The Gun does not store reads. It emulates a keyboard entry

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

I am not sure... When I ordered this gun I was sent a different gun....I haven't had to many problems with the batteries. The one time I did I just used electrical tape and taped it to the outside. Hope this helped

You might have a defective tazer i have had my tazer for about two months now and test it maybe a couple times a day and only charged it at the most 3 times and it still works perfectly

Well I'm sure it depends on the brand of batteries. I used off brands from Menards and as most things from Menards its low quality so i got about 3 weeks out of the gun. I am not sure how much my kid used when i wasn't around so i cant give an estimated amount of hrs it will run

I know this sounds stupid but make sure the battery is inserted properly and that it is in all the way. My charge time has been 10-20 minutes. My original battery charge lasted 6 months.

It only matters where you store it. NEVER store your battery plugged into your gun. It can cause some pretty bad problems with performance. I always store mine outside the gun. It should be stored outside the gun un-charged. It will save battery life.

I have only charged it once...before Thanksgiving. Left it overnight. The stock battery lasted 20 minutes. This lasted Wed - Sat with intermittent use.

I charged my new camera according to the instructions, 2 hours, and now a month later the battery is dead and it won't recharge. I read on another online site about lith. batt. they should be charged 12 hours, taken out of the camera, reinserted and charged for another 12 hours, and then do it again to fully charge the battery. No one else has had a problem with the battery?

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessaryto discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted aboutthree days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibilitywould be an incorrect battery?Best regards,Sammy

Had that happen once. Of course, always Make sure the negative end of the battery is inserted into the spring. Never try to charge it throughout the night. It messes up both charger and battery. It burns the cells of the battery if kept long in there fully charged. The charger you have takes a while to charge. It is low voltage so not that much juice is delivering into your battery. This is a very good battery I used it for my vaper "ecig" and can last for a few days without charge. Hope this helps.

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...

Sorry if this sounds stupid but is the battery fully charged ? Mine did the same thing when I first took it out of the box. When the battery is dead it takes four hrs on the provided charger to bring it up to full charge. If the battery gets warm to the touch take it off the charger for sure. The tank should run for 30 min or so before it needs recharging. Other than that check for loose plugs going to the receiver and battery. to tell you the truth it sounds just like the way it went for me when I took mine straight out of the box and tried to run it on the uncharged battery. Sorry but that's about all i've got . Just the obvious. Good luck.

I usually charge it overnight, then turn it the opposite way in the charger until I need to use it. These batteries hold a charge a very long time. Depending on how long I use it on a given day determines if I charge it that day or not. If I use it for just a couple of screws or drill o few holes, then I wont bother charging it that day. If I use it a lot in one day then I will usually charge it overnight and then the next day turn it backwards in the charger. I know it says they won't overcharge but you don't need to put an extra charge cycle on the battery if it's not necessary. I hope this helps.
