Proper storage and operation of the electroshock device guarantees its long and trouble-free service. In this article, we will look at the basic rules for storing a stungun for car-owners.
How to properly store a stungun? What can damage the stungun and affect its service life?
When deciding to leave the stungun in the car for a long time (for example, overnight), it is necessary to take into account the temperature outside:
- Long-term storage in the cold season: Cold affects batteries, reducing their capacity and efficiency. As a result, when a critical situation occurs, you may find that the device is less efficient or discharged. And the long-term storage of the battery in the cold temperatures can cause it to fail.
- Long-term storage in the hot season: High temperatures can damage electronic components and batteries, which will also affect the operation of the device. This can also cause the stungun to break down.
If you are not sure about the temperature conditions in which your stungun will be located (for example, if the temperature can drop significantly at night), it is best to avoid storing it in the car for a long time. Instead, you can carry the device with you or store it at home.
Why can't you leave the stungun in your car in winter?
Class 1 stunguns use rechargeable lithium polymer batteries, which can lose their effectiveness at low temperatures. Prolonged cold storage can lead to a decrease in the power of the device. If the stungun does not function properly due to the low temperature, this can create a dangerous situation for its owner, when the device will not be able to effectively stop the aggressor.
Low temperatures can cause the battery to fail, and you will need to repair the stungun or replace the removable battery.
Keeping the stungun in the cold for a short time (several hours) will not affect the device's performance.

Why can't you leave the stungun in your car in the summer? Risks associated with leaving the stungun in a hot car
Do not expose a stungun to the sweltering heat in a parked car, as this may compromise its reliability and safety. Extreme temperatures are known to harm electronic devices, and your stungun is no exception. If you leave the stungun in a hot car or in direct sunlight, extreme heat can affect the operation of the internal components of the stungun and reduce its service life or cause it to fail. To avoid these risks, it is best to take the stungun with you rather than leave it in the car.
Optimal stungun storage conditions
Careful attention to the storage conditions of the stungun is the key to ensuring that it will be in good condition. Electronic devices, including a stungun, operate in stable and moderate conditions. Extreme heat or cold can significantly affect the functionality and service life of the stungun, leading to problems at the moment when you need it most. To ensure the best possible conditions, store the stungun at room temperature. The ideal solution is a dry place protected from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. A leather or textile case will protect the stungun from physical damage, as well as ensure the convenience of carrying the device. By choosing a suitable storage location, you not only take care of your stungun, but also ensure that the self-defense device is ready for use and reliable in case of need.
A ready-to-use stungun with a fully charged battery is a reliable self-defense weapon for car-owners.
