Thanks Connor

I've tried it pal even with the tape measure, thanks anyway but I wonder if anybody else has had the same problem maybe it's some wiring fault?

the zink hearing aid batterys tend to do that after a while the ones you put in the collars.you know the type you get from the cheapy shops and they tend to throw the pin point out use the alkaline ones thats what i found.
