How long does the collar hold a charge? How about the receiver?

As with anything that requires a charge, it depends on how much you use it. When we were using ours several hours a day, we charged the units on a weekly basis. Our receiver has never completely run until dead, although our collars have. When the collars get low on charge they will start to blink orange rather than green. If not charged, they start to blink red before completely dying. Now that we use them sporadically, they can go a month before needing to be charged.

My dogs only wear them about 2 hours a day and we charge both the collars and receiver once a week

Brand new you can get about 2 days but then that depends on how often used.We just plug in at night . This is the second double we have had. Our dogs go swimming a lot and one of the collars got wet one 2 many times lasted about five years with one set of replacement batteries.Here is a tip we did learn to use black electric tape to cover the charge plug on the collars to make sure it stays closed while the dogs are swimming.

Mine is about two years old and the collars hold a charge for about 8 hours. The receiver seems to hold a charge for days. Not sure about that. I charge them all at the same time. When my collars were newer they held a charge longer. Closer to 12 hours or so.

Once the dog gets the hang of it, I've found that I can set the collar to beep only (no shock) and it's still effective. I assume that extends the battery life because it doesn't have to charge / maintain the shock system. The real problem is dead batteries from a new package.

Julie, we found the same thing with our collars. Didn't take us long to learn that you have to sync the collars every time they are charged. Not sure why they are designed that way but it wasn't a real big deal to us.

Thank you for your question! If the Receiver Collar is left on continuously, the maximum battery life will be two weeks. The remote can last up to 1 month or longer. We hope you find this information helpful.

It has a built in battery that last for a very long time. I have been more than pleased with the battery life on this collar.

The collar is rechargeable and works great! Great investment for the safety of our dogs!! Never had a problem with the dogs chewing the collar!

Brenner, it depends how much you use. The good point is that you can by the battery types in any electronics store or supermarket. For the collar last around 3 months and the controller 4 months.

I would think u r referring to the receiver on the collar. The instructions do not say one way or the other. By the looks of it, I would say yes.

I could go at least a week or two between charging with a 30-60 minute use each day. Please remember this is not a quality unit when it comes to waterproof usage. When water gets into the collar pack, it will malfunction, zapping your dog every few seconds on max strength until you get the collar off. Never leave unattended!!

Have no idea why it's not working. Ours is working fine. Both collar and controllet do need recharging from time to time.

The collar itself has a built in re=chargeable battery. You charge the collar by placing it on top of the transmitting unit - very convenient. The charge (so far) is lasting over 30 days. I haven't had it long enough to know how long the battery will last long term. So far I am very pleased with the unit. A little more costly than some of the others but so far it has been money well spent.

Mine lasts 5-6 months, but it depends on how stubborn the dog is. Mine keeps "testing" it to see if the shock has weakened. There is a red light on the collar unit that flashes when the battery is low. I am very pleased with this product and company. I live in FL and the base unit was fried by lightening a few months ago. The company charged a nominal fee and sent me a new unit with return info for the bad unit.

Mine went bad after I changed the batteries once. You have to take the material collar off the receiver and then you can open it. If you haven't purchased this one yet, don't. Spend a little more for a rechargeable one.

I would like to know that also. My collar will not charge and I have never used it.

Common button battery. The receiver is smaller than a pack o cigarettes. It will be fine on a medium or large dog's collar.

Thank you for your question! Typically these types of batteries last about 3-5 years when charged properly. To replace a battery, you would need a replacement receiver collar. Please know that these products are backed by a 1 year limited manufacturer's warranty, and we do offer replacement options even beyond that initial warrantied period. If you need assistance with your system, please contact our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

The collar contains a rechargeable battery and comes with the cod to charge it. The remote requires a 9 volt battery. Not sure of voltage in collar. We really only used the vibrate feature and did not have to use the shock.
