Garmin Collars

I now got two garmin collars less than a yr old that will not stay charged, i can't even get from the house to the first drop before they are going dead or dead. Has anyone had this much trouble with collars not staying charged?? What causes it, not being used as much ? What have ya done to fix it?

Were your collars new or used when you bought them?

I also had a collar around a year old that wouldn't take a charge... so I changed the battery and haven't had a problem, but we'll see in about 12 months!

You can find DC 30 batteries on Amazon for about $35.

We have six between my father & I all the rest seem to be working fine as of yet. It does appear neither one of them are charging completly up, I usually clean out the charging port anyways but I tried doing so again and they arent charging. The one collar hasn't been right since we bought it, all the others have out performed it but the other one I haven't had any trouble with it since we bought it last winter. Getting to that time of year it will soon be time to run the coyote dogs, and collars staying charged is a necessity.
