I have a question for you Taser C2 owners out there - how long has your battery been lasting?
According to the instructional DVD I got from Taser, the lithium battery is supposed to last 5 years. Well, guess what? My first lasted less than a year, and my second lasted about SIX MONTHS. And, that is with zero drive stun/stun gun type demos. And, less than 5 seconds of light on/ laser on checking once a month.
I know the exact dates because I wrote a check for the Taser and checked the date of purchase. When that battery went bad, a nice lady who was working the Taser booth at the 2012 Shot show was nice enough to give me a new battery when I complained. And, that was six months ago.
So, my 5 year batteries are lasting an average of 9 months - about 1/5 of the time they are supposed to. At $30 a pop, in 5 years I'm paying $150 dollars instead of $30 - that's a lot of pepper spray.
I think I am going to send in my unit for exchange. I am a bit hesitant to because I have a camo pattern unit which is now discontinued.
Anyway, like I said, is anyone getting 5 years of battery life out of their Taser? Or, anywhere near that?
