Gel Blaster Surge 2-Blast Mode Water Bead Blaster, Extended 100+ Foot Range + 10k Gellets

All the kids enjoyed them. I purchased four. All worked as promised. Quick charging time. Not enough power to hurt an adult. Very cool at night, get the glow in the dark ammo. Keep the bucket of ammo under a light while waiting for them to expand. SAFE (use the included protective glasses.) , FUN. I paid 14.99 each .

Neither one would charge after about two to three very shallow battery cycles. im pretty sure these were new old stock, as the packaging was pretty faded, and a bit worn. I kind of suspected that was the case going into it, but it was about 1/3 of the price that they are normally so i took a chance. If anyone else has this problem with these, and you are handy with a soldering iron, its pretty easy to fix. its not the batteries that fail, its the charging circuit itself, so it can be fixed by straight wiring the battery pack to the switch, and motor, bypassing all of the circuitry inside. this is how the pirahna is designed, same wire guage, same switch, same internals, just a different casing on the outside. well im done pooping so ttyl lol!
