I compared a few compact stun batons in this size range, and the Bad Ass stands out for one reason: 110 million volts in a 14.75-inch aircraft aluminum body is a lot of output in a manageable size. It’s lighter than the longer batons at 1.45 lbs, and the rubber grip with wrist strap means you’re not going to drop it if things get physical.
At 14.75 inches, the Bad Ass is shorter than most stun batons — closer in length to an extended flashlight than a full baton. That’s actually useful if you want something that stores easily under a car seat, in a backpack, or on a nightstand without taking up significant space. The aircraft aluminum body is rigid enough to use as a striking tool, not just an electrical deterrent.
The 110 million volt output is on the higher end for this category. The arc is bright and loud when activated — that visible deterrent effect is what typically ends a situation before it escalates to contact. Combined with the 120-lumen flashlight, you have two tools that work independently of each other.
The Bad Ass is a good fit for someone who wants baton-style reach and construction without the weight and length of a full 22-inch unit. Rideshare drivers who want something accessible but not obvious, someone who travels and wants to keep it in luggage or a bag, or anyone who prefers a compact tool that can still be used as a physical barrier.
The wrist strap is a practical detail that matters. In a stressful moment, grip strength isn’t always reliable — the strap keeps the baton from being knocked out of your hand. The rubber grip helps with control in wet or sweaty conditions.
At 1.45 lbs, it’s light enough to carry for extended periods without fatigue. The charger cord is included, so you’re not hunting for a compatible cable.
Choose the Bad Ass if you want:
Consider something else if you need:
Push the activation button and the front contact points deliver 110 million volts with 4.9 milliamp output. The milliamp rating is the practical number — that’s what causes the muscle disruption that makes stun devices effective. The arc is visible and audible, which functions as its own deterrent before any contact is made.
The 120-lumen flashlight operates on a separate control from the stun function, so you can use it as a regular flashlight without any risk of activating the stun. It’s bright enough to light a parking lot or hallway clearly.
The Ni-CD battery charges via the included cord. Like all Ni-CD batteries, it performs best when allowed to run down before recharging rather than being topped off constantly. A monthly charge check is a reasonable habit.

The Bad Ass measures 14 3/4 inches long by 1 1/2 inches in diameter and weighs 1.45 lbs. Rechargeable Ni-CD battery with included charger cord. Aircraft aluminum body with rubber grip and wrist strap. 120-lumen LED flashlight. Comes with a lifetime warranty from Safety Technology. Check your state and local laws before purchasing — stun devices have restrictions in some jurisdictions.
The Bad Ass delivers the highest voltage in its size class — a compact, lightweight baton that doesn’t ask you to sacrifice output for portability.
Honestly, at the consumer level, the voltage difference between these ratings is less meaningful than the milliamp output. All three — 80M, 100M, and 110M volt stun devices — deliver 4.9 milliamps, which is the current that actually creates the effect. The voltage difference is marginal in practice. What you’re really choosing between these models is size, weight, and reach, not a meaningful difference in stopping power.
More than you’d think. Under stress, grip strength can become unreliable, and a device that gets knocked out of your hand isn’t useful. The wrist strap loops around your wrist so even if your grip loosens, the baton stays with you. It’s a small detail that adds practical security. The strap is adjustable and can be removed if you prefer to store the baton without it.
The main trade-off is reach versus portability. The Bad Ass at 14.75 inches stores more easily and weighs less — 1.45 lbs versus 1.7 lbs for the Stun Bat and 3.55 lbs for the Bouncer. If compact storage is your priority, the Bad Ass makes sense. If you want more physical reach and don’t mind the extra length, the Stun Bat or Bouncer give you that. All three deliver the same 4.9 milliamp output.
Stun devices are prohibited in carry-on luggage by TSA and cannot be brought on commercial flights even in checked bags in most cases. For ground travel, it depends on your destination — stun devices are legal in most states but restricted in some. Check the laws for every state you’re traveling through or to. For air travel, a personal alarm would be the TSA-compliant alternative.
