At what battery percentage should a Taser battery be changed?

The recommended battery change threshold for a Taser is when it reaches 50% or less of its charge. When a Taser battery is at this level, it may not provide adequate performance during critical situations. Depending on the model, a Taser relies on a sufficient power supply to deliver effective electrical discharge when activated. As the battery drains and approaches that midway point, it becomes increasingly unreliable.

Regularly monitoring the battery level is essential for ensuring operational readiness. Changing the battery once it drops to 50% helps prevent equipment failure and upholds safety standards for both officers and the public. It supports the principle of having reliable tools readily available under what could be high-stress, unpredictable circumstances. This preventive approach is crucial in law enforcement, where equipment reliability can directly impact outcomes in critical situations.
