Good Question! If batteries are gone, can they be changed at home?

Replacement batteries are available, and able to be changed at home. Some of my collars are now ~ 2 years old, and they all seem to be working fine. Probably have 100-150 charges on each collar. |

I clean mine before each charge but this one when I charge it the blue light comes on indicating the collar is taking charge. It will shut off indicating a full charge but when I check it it only has one bar and will last maybe one hour? How and where can I order these items?

http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-DC-30-Battery-Pack/dp/B001BW26DUBefore you go buy a new battery, call Garmin. I had one collar that did not charge correctly a couple times. The collar was over a year old, and out of warranty. I called Garmin, and they send me a brand new replacement battery, at no charge. However, the collar started working fine before I ever put the new battery in. Now I have a new battery sitting in storage, waiting on an original one to fail. In hindsight, I think I might have had some crud built up on the contacts not allowing the battery to take a full charge in the same time as the other collars.

one of my collars was not charging right i would put all my collars on charge and they would be fully charged and it would only have 2 bars and the blue light would never go off i always clean them before charging with a tooth brush i finally scratched the contacts with a knife and never had any more trouble out of it  |
