pet collar batteries

These are just batteries for a pet collar to keep my pet safe in his yard with an invisible fence. So this review is not just for the batteries, perse - for they are just batteries - but for the whole system which has worked quite well. So an invisible fence, I would recomend, be considered by anyone wanting to keep their pet safe.

Batteries and System Work, But . . .

My husband and I bought a radio fence system for my two cats. Wasn't sure it would work, but we installed it two months and it works well. It took a while to figure out a design -- but that's due to the layout of our property, tree considerations, etc. The batteries work fine -- and that's worth a 5-star rating, but I was surprised to see two things-- that I had to use these special batteries rather than buy replacements at Radio Shack, Walmart, or wherever. AND -- they only last a month. That's quite a chunk of change every year--$168/year plus shipping. According to others on this site that's cheaper than other sites including the manufacturer. So if you're not willing to have an ongoing bill, stay clear, otherwise, the system and collars work well.

Works ok

The only reason I gave the battery 3 stars is that they don't seem to hold their charge for very long. The instructions say the green light will blink while battery is still good but I have found it blinks red about a day after using battery for the first time, but when I test the battery in the collar it works fine. Don't know what to expect they are only 3 volt batteries. Overall a good product

Dependability where I need it!

I can count on the battery lasting a month in my dogs' collars--a bit more if they're not outside as much, like in winter--but I've always had dependability with the batteries. LOVE my PetSafe collars and batteries--they keep my Cairn Terriers from harm!

I find that the batteries do not last that long when in operation.

Very excited

Took my little chihuahua a day to understand that barking was not ok. It works great and the battery lasts a very long time.

Fast service!

Excellent batteries, Great price and service. We have 4 dogs with collars on these batteries and they usually last between 6-8 weeks unless you have a dog that likes to challenge the fence which one of ours often does!

Wish it would last longer.

In the cat collar, it only lasts for a total of 24 hours. 8 hours each day.

Good except for short battery life

The product is designed to prevent a former problem involving batteries falling out of the collars. This new battery set-up does not fall out of the collar, but battery life is only 5 months. I prefer the old system involving batteries I could purchase inexpensively and install myself.

Works well for short time

I trained my small dog with my big dog's collar for a week on vibrate until the small collar came. Then I diligently used the small collar, turning it on and off whenever I used it. Then we left for a week while our neighbor fed the dogs. The neighbor called to tell us the battery must have quit because the little guy is wandering the neighborhood. Luckily I was able to tell her where the back-up battery was. I had hoped the battery would last a week w/o the neighbor having to turn it off and on. So, training the neighbor is also necessary if you use the collar like we did.
