OH NO,another garmin problem

Wondering if anyone has had this problem.I have a 220 with dc30 collar.Everything works fine, except the 220 will not show amount of charge in battery,it just remains with a?I think i may just need a new battery.When using it it showed full charge for several nites,then dropped to 3/4 charge for a little while,then went to low battery warning very quickly.Any ideas?

Try changing the battery. It would probably be faster to change the battery than it would be to type that post. LOL

You'll have to carry a couple of AA batteries with you in the woods and change them any time you see the ? come on, at least that is what I do!

change the setting to lithium they cost more last about a week to a week and 1/2 compared to 1 or 2 days

How many days your batteries last depends on how many hours you hunt a night. Mine last 1-1/2 nights but I hunt several hours a night. I would make sure it is set for the kind of batteries you are useing. If you are useing rechargeable batteries I wouldn't wait to charge them. I keep mine on the top part of the charge when I use rechargeables.

I would plug the collars in every time you use them. I allways keep mine at the top half. Running them all the way down is hard on them. They are like a gas tank though and if you do choose to run them all the way down the second half will allways go faster.
