By no means an expert and hopefully someone else will be along with a better answer but personally I would assume you would just turn on whatever it is connected to until it’s completely flat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate 9000 675 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I've always left mine fully charged at the end of season still going strong 7 years later. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rat face 1,655 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Letting mine run fully out of charge ruined mine, was perfectly fine when I used to just charge it up after every weekend 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Days 0 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 My last Battery went dead after about 2 years with good use, contact B&F who replaced old batterie for 90 Quid, They told me to charge fully and then discharge fully every 4 to 6 Weeks. Contact B&F who said to turn on and let it discharge itself, after 4 Days it's still at 88% there must be another way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate 9000 675 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 It's not in their interest to give you advice to make battery last for years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They charge that much to change a battery so you just buy a new collar,bunch of money grabbing tossers and listen to there advice at your peril... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
