Is this collar rechargeable or do I need batteries?

no batteries; am not sure how long the light will last as it's relatively new. But so far it's GREAT!

They're not rechargeable. There is a slot on the end of the battery pack but a small amount of pressure won't open the pack. When one of the collars stops working I'll use more force to see if the battery is replaceable because I won't feel too bad if I destroy the collar.

Its already got a battery inside. It doesnt seem to be replaceable. My collar is great and very bright.

Rechargeable. But the collar broke after just a month. Called pets safe and they replaced the fence with the new one. Yard max.

Make sure the battery is in correctly and the unit is charged. The is the second shock collar I have used and I have to tell you is if inconsistent and difficult to use, I wish I had never purchased it.

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.

It came with one collar and we bought a 2 pack of extra collars because we have two dogs and we thought it would be good to have an extra one on hand. We also find the batteries don't last more than 2-3 months so it's good to order some of those two. The collar that came with our door had a pretty old battery in it, I think it lasted about 3 weeks.

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

Not common. Should last 40+ hours. Remember to turn off the collar unit after each use. If you do that, recharging every 2 weeks or so would be about right, if not longer. Remember also that it needs to charge overnight until both units display a green light.

Yes I believe mine came with a charging cord which plugs in directly to the collar.

Yes the collar comes with a charger. The handheld requires 2 AA batteries tho.

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!

I'm not aware of any of the fence products being rechargable. On the collars the thumb screw head that you turn them on and off with can be turned further left, the top to the left, and the piece comes out. The whole piece including the black thumb screw top is replaced. Quite expensive in the local stores but i've found them for $8 online. After the pets are trained they don't set them off and seldom even need to wear them. I normally go 2+ years before needing new batteries. Because my dogs are chocolate and the cats black i don't see the collars and leave them on for days but the animals aren't getting themselves buzzed or shocked so the batteries just keep lasting.

There is no on/off. The collar stays charged for a couple of days before we recharge. The vibrate works for us in correcting bad behavior. Although we have had to resort to the minimum "zap" on a couple of occasions.

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.

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.

Yes. Batteries are inside of controler and collar, just need to plug in and charge. Nice and simple, works great!

There are no batteries. Both the collar and the hand held device are chargeable.

I hadn't tested mine either, until I got the e-mail. I just tested both and one works but the other does not. I switched the batteries around several time because I was afraid it might have been the collar. The battery does not, sorry to say.
