Choosing the Right Shock Collar Batteries

Shock collar batteries come in different types, including alkaline, nickel-metal hydride, and lithium-ion.

The lifespan of a shock collar battery depends on the type and usage.

Alkaline batteries, for example, can last up to 6 months, while nickel-metal hydride batteries can last up to 8 months.

Most electronic collar batteries are rechargeable, which is a game-changer for dog owners.

Rapid charging systems are now the norm, allowing for a full charge in about 2 hours. This provides 100 hours or more of service before needing to be recharged again.

Some collars still use standard charging systems, which take around 12 to 14 hours to fully charge. This results in 45 to 75 hours of service.

Self-contained battery compartments in waterproof casings make it easy to replace batteries without compromising the collar's waterproofing system.

In some cases, rechargeable batteries can be replaced at home, while others require sending the worn battery back to the manufacturer for a replacement.
