Bloody Collar!

[Ideation 8,217]

One of my mrk3 collars seems to be a bit f****d. I put new batts in and it works fine, within a couple of hours the batts are flat as a pancake! Any ideas or anyone had this before?

Sounds like somits shorting the battery out, Make sure it`s all clean inside and theres nowt stuck in there, and that the contacts are not bent out of position.

 

Failing that, call deben and tell them it`s faulty,,

You could measure the resistance across the coller, from positive to negative and look to see if theres a short circuit.

i had this problem check that the batteries are alkaline ones and not them sh*t zinc air ones i asked at a chemist where i get my batteries what was the difference apparantly the zinc air ones are activated or something like that by air hence they work for a bit but when you put them in the collar and tape up they act as if there flat get the alkaline ones problem solved hope this helps ks

sounds like a good plan to me

Nor do you want alkaline batteries.

 

You need a good quality silver oxide such as the rayovac or the Sony ones.

 

If you have those in and it's not working contact Deben.

rayovac are the boys

The ones we are using are rayovac.

Yep, using rayovac and no problems in other collar. I'll try giving it a clean!
