If its a bottle like the link i posted that company will do it, if it came from halfrauds its a bin job and buy a new one

I'd almost want to light a bonfire somewhere & put it out again just for a laugh if you had to do that.

As for recharging, most will have a guage on them.

Believe it or not Hellfrauds sell the same ones as I've got for mine . . .

(mine was originally brought for use on site)  -  Not from Hellfrauds.

EDIT, Cheap ones go in the bin after use or when they're Out of Date.

I have a 1.5kg powder one from Costco @ £16.99 in the Maro boot.
It has a gauge on the top so you can see if it's still OK ?

Very nearly used it on Shandy's Imparla after the "Post" incident , but he managed to kick the shorting battery wires off !

Just cause the gauge is showing ok it doesnt mean it will work. All extinguishers will have a use by date on them so check and if its out replace it

all good advise..

dont think you'd find anyone who'd say carying one is a bad idea..

Plus it's a hefty weapon in a road-rage attack.
