baz123 23 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Do you keep the box and collar together or with the magnet etc? I'm sure some boxes drain if stored near the collar. 1 Quote Link to post
undertaker 830 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Doesn't be to close to collar and never near magnet Quote Link to post
Zerky 133 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Keep it in the house in the warm, I was keeping mine in the barn and I found it was loosing charge. I keep it in the house now and seems to be fine. Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Are you making sure it gets a good long charge when you do charge it? If you only charge it for an hour here and there the battery will drain quicker. Same as a mobile phone or a battery on a lamp. Quote Link to post
undertaker 830 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Zerky think your right I had it shed 4 afew days so hopefully now it's back in house it will stay charged Quote Link to post
Mixedgrill 704 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'll tell you what's happened the box needs to be charged throughout the whole year when it's changed let it run done and do this all the time even when your not using it,rechargeable batteries aren't worth a fook the first box that bellman and flint made was the best that money could buy the red box is given a lot of problems Quote Link to post

THE GENERAL 1,980 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 What most people don't know is you can turn the non rechargeable collars on with impact I realised this when I dropped my collar and it turned on. Rang bellman they said it shouldnf do that but a it definitely won't turn off with impact. Done the same with a mates one day when he had forgotten his magnet and it worked. Tried another collar one day tapped it off a fence post and it turned on. Quote Link to post

THE GENERAL 1,980 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Why? These collars were very well tested and as stated they will not turn off with impact they turn on easily with the magnet but you have to swipe it correctly with the magnet for it to turn off. At first bellman suggested that I had placed the turned off collar near a magnetic field such as speakers a microwave etc. and that was the reason it turned on. That wasn't the case they turn on with impact so if you turn your collar off and don't place it near a magnetic field and don't drop it then there shouldn't be any issue. There's no other collar that I'm aware of is as good as the bellman, unless you know different that is. Edited January 22, 2015 by THE GENERAL Quote Link to post

He said he didn't know they turn on with impact so whosto say there isnt a chance of them turning off?? Quote Link to post
