[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3261708, member: 43171"] On the topic of battrees and chargers and since I can derail a thread with the best of em.......yesterday I sent my wife to town to buy me a new hotshot cattle prod. I'd already spoke to my buddy that works at the store a few times pricing different options. I decided I was going all out and buying first class. The HotShot Duraprod has been out 10yrs now and I've wanted one since they came out. They have a rechargeable battree pack and are much more durable than the other options. I haven't wanted to spend the $160 on one and I pick up the cheaper ones folks throw in the trash, fix em and use em till they break again. Sometimes they last a couple months and sometimes they quit before they start. Anyhow, wife brings home the new one and I read up on the structions that came with it. They say the battree won't be damaged by leaving it on the charger for an extended period of time. That's great. But it also says the battree charger runs for 16hrs and then the blinking light turns solid and the charger stops charging. If you take the battree off the charger and put it right back on the timer resets and she runs another 16hrs. Sooo it don't matter if the battree is fresh or dead the charger goes for 16hrs. I sure wish it just shut off when the battree was full or there was some battree level checkerizer on it or something. Rant off and thread derailment now complete! [/QUOTE]
