tubba 38 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Can you make an 8 ft collar into a 15ft by putting an extra battery in and a 15 ft battery cap? Has anyone tried it? Quote Link to post
PETEWINN 5 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I have never tried it but when you have one good and one duff battery in a 15ft collar it only works to around 8ft. So my guess is 2 batteries in an 8ft will make it go twice the depth. Quote Link to post
tubba 38 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'd try it myself if i had an 8ft collar i've only got 15fts. It must work though.. Quote Link to post
rapidjenky 97 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 as long as whats inside can handle the extra voltage. i got a couple of 8fts but wouldent dare try it cause there not so cheap to replace if it blows something. Quote Link to post

comanche 3,076 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Surely the 8ft collar battery compartment is a different diameter than a 15ft one so you would actually have to make a bigger cap for it to accomadate two batteries instead of one . Even if the exra voltage did'nt damage the transmiter or give powerfull false readings to the reciever you'd end up with something really bulky round the ferret's neck that would catch on the nets and stuff .Which I guess is why the 15ft collar was redesigned to use smaller batteries .

Giro 2,648 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 They are the same diameter... The batterys are tiny Quote Link to post
tubba 38 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thats why i asked i do not have an 8 ft collar but the caps are bigger for the 15 ft they take 2 batterys. Quote Link to post
