Molie1337 35 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Just wondering what all you lot do with you're re-chargable collars with regard to the battery....do you just top it up every now and then, when you feel like its getting low, or do you leave it on to let it run flat then recharge after, is it best stored in the off season fully charged or flat? cheers Molie Quote Link to post
turkish 287 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 does anyone know if ye can get new case on old collar from bellman flint. Quote Link to post
busterbuster1969 313 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I charge mine up when I have been out a few hours as you never know when the unexpected drop in happens, always best to have a reasonable charge left in them. Regarding letting them go flat when the seasons over, I always collar mine up even when im out for a spot of summertime bushing so never left to go flat 2 Quote Link to post

THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I believe that most, if not all battery operated equipment that sends a signal to a receiver should be allowed to drain every so often so the battery cells as a whole are being used. I may be wrong. Interesting topic. Quote Link to post

VOON 1,317 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 What type of battery are they? different protocol for different batteries........ Quote Link to post
Moorman 1 1,343 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I think they are lithium batteries so you can top them up and they don't get a memory.Although I think its best to run flat and recharge every so often. I use two,I flatten one then use the other so alternate them. 1 Quote Link to post

Grinder 102 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 The new collars can have replacement battery's fitted if buggered... Discharge them if your not using them for long periods Quote Link to post

If there lithium batteries, you should keep them between 20% and % of capacity and only give a full charge once every couple of months...Always store them at around half charge when there not in use.........

remyd 68 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 during long periods when the devices are not in use, its advisable to discharge and recharge the batteries at least once a month to maintain the battery lifespan. atb 1 Quote Link to post
astrix 12 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 does anyone know if ye can get new case on old collar from bellman flint. I've asked them before and they say it would cost too much to have new covers for the old collars made, moulds etc. There like rocking horse sh*t, pity cos there will be loads of lads wanting them Quote Link to post
CBdogsA1 420 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I keep mine around half charge all the time as said above, you never know when you might need it. New covers would be brill tho, they can get a bit 'rough'. Quote Link to post
