I bought one a few years ago, but never used it. I just wanted to use it, but it's dead. probably the internal battery has had a deep discharge. Any idea how I can fix this? Is the internal battery replaceable? I looked on internet for information, but I couldn't find it!
I guess my concern is how do you know you're not getting the Ecoli on the pen itself? In a situation where you can't disinfect the pen (camping, hiking, etc) how would you clean the pen for the next use? Wouldn't you still have dirty river water on it?
Joseph Chandler For peace of mind, re-soak the steripen and let the UV work another minute. Anything left over on the bulb from prior use will wipe out. Over the course of a single trip, there isn’t much concern. Just make sure to clean it after each trip. Or try nontoxic Campsuds soap and rinse the bulb between uses.

So how did it go on the trip? Did you use it and if so did it keep you from getting sick?

dont be a pussy, wipe it in your armpit like a real man!
Why didn't you use the Steripen in the same sample she pulled the control from? This would be better proof if the pen actually works.
Well, looks like just about everyone else comments poorly. I thought you and the lovely lab coat did very nicely. Good work mate..
sound quality sucks
Can’t understand a word you’re saying.
