 Buy replacement batteries yourself. November 7, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
The Petsafe RFA-188 can be DIY replaced by opening up the bottom cap. It is glued so you'll have to use a plier. Underneath it you'll find a Sanyo CR-1/3N battery that can be purchased online for 3 dollars. I plan on buying a bunch in bulk to make shipping worth it, slap it in and use some glue or tape to put it back together. To find the inner Battery, just google it.
This is what it looks like but you can find it cheaper elsewhere on the internet.

Cheap alternative replacement! November 2, 2008
Thanks W. Jiang for the idea! My husband just replaced the inner battery of this Petsafe RFA-188 battery with a Duracell 1/3N battery found in our small town local hardware store for $4.00! He said he broke off the seal holding the old 1/3N battery and popped in the new one without tape or glue. We love the Petsafe Little Dog Receiver but after reading all the reviews about how fast the batteries died, I was a little concerned. We turn the batteries (2 dog collars) off at night and back on during the day and the first collar lasted about 2 months. Replacing the battery every 2 months at $4.00 a pop is, in my opinion, no big deal. What freedom for us and our 2 dogs!

Installed the fence and used three collars on all my dogs... batteries did not die for 6 months. Not sure what these people are talking about after 3 weeks ??????
 Battery Life Seems Appropriate June 12, 2007

My first battery expired after 8 weeks or use. The 'correction' setting was 2nd highest and the collar was shut-off at night; worn virtually all day. I may try to reduce the power setting as the dog is now 'trained'. The PetSafe Training Guide advised a 3 to 6 month life. A little short of expectation.
Bad battery August 5, 2007
I have 2 dogs wearing these and they do not test the fence often. The batteries last less than a month. They are expensive and should be considered along with the purchase price of the fence as part of the overall cost. My only complaint is that it is less battery than the other petsafe collars and it costs more. $10 is excessive.
