How long should the collar last before it's rechargeable battery goes bad?

It lasts a longer time once your dog knows the boundary because it doesn't use extra to beep. Mine lasts almost a week and charges so quickly(about an hour). I have an American Bulldog who doesn't want to leave the area. I can now let him out and he knows the area without the collar. I only put it on him if I am not going to be near the window to spy on him. I love this product! My dog has the freedom to run around and is not confined to a rope or fence area.

After 3 years, the collar still works great with the original rechargeable battery.

The first collar lasted just over one year and would not charge any more. I was unhappy about that so I called the manufacture and they sent me a new collar (I had to pay for shipping) and said the warranty for the new 1 is 6 months. Unfortunately the collars do not last long. That is probably why they only gave a 6 month warranty on the replacement.

We use the collars pretty much every day for our woods walks. I charge them once a week as a routine. But they never go dead. Make sure it is off look for the blinking light.

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!

We purchased ours on Oct 4 2104. We just had to replace batteries for first time.So about 2 1/2 months. The only thing is, it doesn't give you warning so maybe it went dead before because one day she was down the street so we realized batteries must be dead. So who knows when it actually went dead? That's kind of a bad thing because there isn't something that tells you so some day your dog can wonder off. Other than that it works great! So I guess maybe every few weeks, or once a week we should take the collar out by end of yard and check it? We take it off her at night to give her a rest but we don't turn it off or anything. Hope that helps. We purchased ours on Oct 4 2104. We just had to replace batteries for first time.So about 2 1/2 months.

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.

Hi Nicole, I have been using mine for 4 month's with no problems. At night time I remove the collar and our dog comes in just to give her a break. I hope this helps. have a great day, Mark

I have not had a problem with my remote, in fact the collar allways runs out of charge at least 3-4 times before I have to charge the remote.

I was told by PetSafe that you cannot replace the battery. PetSafe was great, though, about replacing my transmitter when it died early (less than a year?) and one lady phone helper gave me excellent advice to not store the collar near any batteries or magnets (such as speakers) or even metal appliances, etc. That seemed to be my problem with 2 receivers because, after I learned that, I have had much longer life with my latest receiver. That info is not in the manual and several other techs seemed to either not know it or not share it.

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.

Not sure. I haven't had any trouble with mine charging. I have had mine for more than a year. You might see if you can get a replacement battery for the collar.

I charge the collar overnight. The charge lasts all day. I recently replaced this battery as well. When I ordered the new one, the old one was holding a charge for about 8 hours. I'm definitely glad I replaced the battery when I did.

True, the battery is sealed..i have had this collar for about 3 years and the battery still charges

Yes for sure. The collar needs to be recharged every few days, we have gone as long as a week and it still works.

The battery is rechargeable, but not replaceable. If it fails, you'll need a new collar. I installed the fence this past summer. It's on all day, and I believe it's only needed to be recharged 2 times.

I have had several Sport Dog collars. The battery will last 1 or 2 days on a full charge. I have found that aftermarket batteries from Batteries Plus hold a charge longer and the battery itself has a longer lifespan. Therefore, when the battery starts to not hold a charge as long don't buy the replacements from Sport Dog go to batteries plus.They are around $20.00 new. The same is true for the transmitter but it will work for weeks without a recharge.

I have had no issues with the battery. I use my Einstein collar 7 days a week, most days the battery is on for 15 hours, even after using the light feature the battery hasn't shown any sign of dieing out. I have run this collar side by side with other collars and have no doubt Einstein makes the best e- collars.

That depends on a lot of factors, like how often you use the collar and what functions you use. The remote's battery will last you a while, we've only had to change it once since we bought the collar. If our dog is behaving well the collar can last a while too, the tone does not eat up the battery as quickly as the shocks. So if your dog responds to the tone then you'll get more use out of the collar battery. We change ours probably every other month.
