How To Get the Most Battery Life From My SportDOG® SD-425X, SD-425XS and SD-425XCamo
Charging and Battery Life
Both the remote and collar fully charge in about 2 hours and typically last 50–70 hours between charges.
Battery life can vary based on:
- Usage frequency
- Stimulation levels
- Storage practices
- Extreme temperatures
Get the Most Out of Your Battery
- Power off the collar when not in use. The collar uses battery power even when not actively delivering a static stimulation, tone or vibration.
- To turn the collar off, press and release the power button. The collar will glow red and beep for 2 seconds to confirm it is powering off.
- Only charge the unit that needs charging. The remote and collar both have their own low battery indicator.
- The collar blinks red every 2 seconds.
- The remote will glow red when any button is pressed.
- Charge once every 3 to 4 months when storing for long periods of time. Additionally, remember to charge before storing for long periods of time.
You can expect hundreds of recharge cycles from the batteries in your SportDOG® remote and collar. However, all rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time and need to be replaced. If you notice that you are getting significantly less life between charges than you did originally, purchase new batteries from the links below.
