How do I recharge the battery? Or do I just replace the battery? And if so, what kind?

The collar comes with a charger. I ordered two collars for our two dogs. The YS300 was for our Boykin Spaniel (32 lbs) and works extremely well - I love it! I ordered a different brand for our little Shih Tzu who is more mouth than body (8 lbs) because I thought it would give her less shock and she is so tiny. I guess it does because it barely reduces her barking - she is still driving me crazy. They were equal in price but the other collar needs batteries replaced which is going to increase the price greatly over time. Love the Dogstra YS300.

The battery is rechargeable and built in. There is a hole in the device, under a small rubber cap, where you plug in the cord to recharge.

That is what we did and battery would not charge after only a few months. I do not know if letting it completely discharge before recharging and not storing it in its built-in storage bracket will help. Electrolux is absolutely no help with this, nor with replacement parts or service.

I have one too, does it need a new battery or charged? I'm sure you've taken it apart and tried cleaning it. How long have you had yours?

The one that I got had a rechargeable battery. I just plugged it in for a few hours before I used it.

I have not had to replace the battery yet. So far all I have had to do is just recharge it via the electrical cord.

That is the only way to change battery is to get the screws out. I haven't had to change mine yet, but you need to get the cover off. Try to make sure you have the right screwdriver to fit so you don't strip the screws.

It looks to be an internal battery. You will receive a cord that plugs into the unit and into a 110 outlet to charge the unit. I can't see a way to open it up and replace the internal battery.

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it.They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working.That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper.Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

The battery can be replaced. Take a look at e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsnL7BTUH1o

I also have this issue, doesn't yours charge? Or does it just die and not recharge?

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

Not sure,but I need a new battery. Do you or anyone else know where I can get a battery

You charge it by plugging into your computer. There is no battery to change. Mine lasts a LONG time before needing to charge and it doesn't seem to take very long to get fully charged. So if yours doesn't work after charging a few hours then it is defective.

Buy a new one when you swap it out. If you can put in a new battery while it's open already, so much the better

My battery won't charge and sometimes the speakervmode won't work. What do I do?!?

I'd start with the battery. If the unit has not been used in a while, the battery probably has lost it's ability to be charged.
