Question 1

What does " rechargeable" means ? Where can be recharged?

Accepted Answer

Don't even bother trying to recharge it. If you can find a place to recharge it, rest assured it will cost you more to recharge it than to buy a brand new one.

Question 2

It says the voltage is 120 volts.  "voltage" what does that mean?  Do you have to plug it in, or something?

Accepted Answer

The voltage mentioned (120- bulb) is a mistake and doesn't pertain to the fire extinguisher. My dad is an electrical engineer with a master's degree and he taught me the following. There is no rating of 120 / 220 or other amps/volts when an an extinguisher is rated for "electrical" fires. When it says it s cleared for use on "electrical fires" it's just that, "electrical". The voltage doesn't matter as it's the same type of fire. The main thing is the size of the extinguisher for that possible electrical fire, i.e, this small residential unit wouldn't be ideal for commercial use.

Question 3

Does this expire?

Accepted Answer

There is no expiration day, only production day. If it is for personal use there is no monthly or yearly inspections needed, it will be in your possession at all times so you'll know when it is corroded or banged up beyond repair or when it loses pressure or when it needs refilling because of use. Every 6 years it needs to be opened by a certified place and checked from the inside, and every 12 years it needs to undergo hydro-pressure check up. Again, because of personal use you don't have to do any of that but than you'll never know if the extinguisher will do what it's supposed to do - put out the fire. Another thing to consider; does it makes more sense to go through the 6/12 year check up or buy a new one all together.

Question 4

Are there mounting wall rackets for all?

Accepted Answer

Each comes with a wall mounting bracket.
