Cheap Batteries 393

[Arry 25,367]

Three parts of the way through last season I had collars go down when ferrets were under ground. On one occasion I had two to ground and both went dead this was still okay and used a third ferret to find them, all sorted with a small dig. This could have been a bit different on some of the other ground we do. Any way its the cheap batteries we had bought of eBay you know the ones 100 for about a tenner, they would suddenly die. Also I think they leak as I was alway cleaning the centre copper pin in the collar that had got black. Started using good quality ones that are made for hearing aids nearly a tenner for ten, brilliant still using the same ones as last year still reading over 1.5 volt on a metre. The copper pin in the collar stays bright and clean.

Any you guys had the same problem?

Cheers Arry

The cheap ones are shit, they will let you down, and if it's frosty, your f****d.  Get good ones, saves messing about if the weather turns crap.
