Test periodically to make sure it’s still working properly and is fully charged. Make sure to test in quick half second bursts. Deploying it for longer periods of time can cause damage.
How many volts does this stun gun have?
Voltage does not indicate stun gun strength. Microcoulombs indicate stun gun strength. According to the National Institute of Justice “subjects reported pain on average at 0.5 microcoulombs, and intolerable pain at 1.0 microcoulombs.” Please see SABRE Stun Guns for intensity by microcoulombs located in each product page under “Product Overview”.
