How long does the battery last in the collar? I am going back and forth between this collar and another compatible collar with RFA-67 battery.

We installed ours and started using in May of this year and just checked it other day. That has been approx 6 mos and still going strong. We have been very pleased with the whole system.

Well over a year so Far! Love the collar as it does a really good job of keeping Buster in his area

I would say a couple of months at least. I have to say we don't change ours very often because our dog doesn't test the limit.

Well, mine has lasted since I bought the collar, about six months ago, but it's trivial in any case to put a new one it. The battery is just a standard 9-volt (such as you use in your smoke alarm).

I have two of the collars which are on 24/7 and a charge last 3 to 4 days. The also charge quickly (about 2 hours) and they have been in use for 2+ years without any signs of battery degradation. Great product!

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.

It lasts at least 2 days. I charge the collar every other day even if the indicator light is green. I charge the remote once a week regardless of the indicator bar.

This issue is addressed in the use's manual. The collar has a built in motion sensor ad will go into sleep mode after few minutes if no movement from the dog or it's not in use to save the battery life. Shake the collar and it will turn back on. Remember, if all else fails, read the directions. Lol

How big is your dog's neck? I can measure it when I get home. I have a medium sized, 42 lb shiba inu/chow mix and the collar has a lot left over. It has holes throughout the whole thing. Also be aware that the batteries are expensive, but for us its totally worth it.

I use the alkaline remote batteries with mine. Each battery has a 5-6 week life for me. (Used daily) You can get a 10 pack here on Amazon for +/-$5.00.10 pk 4LR44 / 476A / PX28A / A544 / K28A / L1325 COLLAR 6V

The transmitter batteries last nearly 6 months if it's not placed on the higher output settings. The receiver (collar) battery duration is totally dependant on how often the dog challenges the restricted zone. My transmitter batteries are lasting about 3-4 months at this point.

No it uses regular 6 volt batteries, which is better in my opinioun no charing a collar everyday, only once every 4-6 months, also rechargeable battery collars usually go bad after a couple of years and may need to be replaced.

Well, we don't use the flashing mode much really, but mainly solid when our dog goes out at night. But we have never replaced a battery. We leave the light on his collar all the time, and just turn it on for the few minutes he is out, so battery life is more than a year.

Well, my dog ran off on me when he was less than 10 feet from me and the shock didn't get him to come back... Not sure if it was the collar itself or just the battery again... I quit using this collar already. I prefer my $140 dollar collar... Much more reliable!!! I found the collar that I have on Amazon for cheaper, it's under "PetSafe Yard & Park Remote Dog Trainer, PDT00-12470" - It's the yellow one. That one says it covers about 400 yards, but I got mine from IFA and I think it covers more. Regardless, the PetSafe collar is better for your dollar. I'm not happy with the cheaper one :( Did I mention it's water proof! Well, my dog ran off on me when he was less than 10 feet from me and the shock didn't get him to come back...

Yes, it has a battery in it. It is a new style battery, so. I recommend that you get an extra battery when you buy it. I like this type of collar switch better than the "cheaper" type . It seems to have a better range than the other style

It should work, depending on your system, our system is older but the collar you are showing here did work work as a replacement one for us. The only difference is the battery is different than our other collars and have not ordered the new kind yet. After the collar came I called the company to ask them because I noticed the battery looked very different and they are but supposedly just as easy to order through the company as well. Hope this helps you a little and good luck! :)

I don't really know yet. I have used it for 2 weeks on the highest setting. My dog is persistent. I have seen her bark for 30 mins with the collar on. I know its shocking her cause I hear her yelp. She is just a barker who will not stop for anything. battery is not dead yet.

The collar has a low battery indicator. I have not had the kit long enough to see if the transmitter has one. I am still using the original 9V battery.

They say about 6 months to a year...ours lasted almost 2 years. They are awesome collars. After spending and spending on all the hype and glam of the other crap...as cheap as these are, they really really work. If your thinking on it, Do It! They really are that good! Hope this helps. If you need any other info, be happy to give it.

Good question! So far we've enjoyed a minimum of 24+ hours on the collar and longer on the transmitter. We use the LED light often when we have Charlie (our pooch) out unleashed at night.
