I would stay well clear of these, as a watchmaker I know what cheap batteries can do to a watch and I certainly wouldn't put them in my collars. Cheap batteries tend to leak and will cause corrosion in whatever you fit them to and will just fcuk your collars if this happens. They may turn out to be ok, but I wouldn't risk it.

Keep an eye on them if you are using them to make sure they dont start to get a white powder on them, this means they are starting to leak(it normally starts on the negative side of the battery where the stepped part is). Dont leave them in for a months because you may come to change them and find a big blob of corroded 5hit inside your collar.

 

This is just my oppinion and they may turn out to be fine.

Found this which explains different types of batteries.

The ones shown in the link at the top of this post are Alkaline, I only use silver oxide(they are alot better battery)

 

I know the link below is aimed at batteries for watches, but its the same theory.
