I need to replace the fire extinguisher in my -4. The other day I noticed that it was completely discharged. I didn't notice any residue.
Anyway I need a new one (or to recharge this one) and am wondering if anything new has come up in the last 5 or so years that might make me want to switch from my Model 340 Amerex Halon 1211 unit.
I did find this link
http://www.h3r.com/products/faq.htm
that seems to suggest a 1211-1301 mix works better than straight 1211. Spruce sells these starting at around $50. Can I refill my 340 with 1211-1301? How big an extinguisher are people using (mine weighs 1lb 7oz)?
Thanks for any insight!
