Changing The Battery For An Invisible Fence Dog Collar

Invisible Fence is a fantastic company that specializes in electronic pet containment. The company uses its product to allow pets to roam on your property without going off of it. Although there is a warranty involved, when the battery for an Invisible Fence dog collar goes out, you need to be sure to change it right away to make sure the system continues to work. Changing the battery for your Invisible Fence dog collar is not difficult and can be done by anyone.

Each system is equipped with an alert that signals to your dog that he is about to cross the property boundaries. When a dog does cross the borders, a small shock is delivered to alert him that he is behaving inappropriately. Using the Invisible Fence training program however, pet owners can train their pets to recognize the warning and not to cross the boundaries. Therefore, you see the importance of changing the battery immediately.

Not changing the battery in time can lead to disaster. First, your pets will be free to go beyond the boundaries of your Invisible Fence, and may choose to do so. You will be left with running after your pet. Secondly, in addition to being free, your pets may also need to be retrained, as they may not understand why they were allowed to go beyond the point this particular time. This will cost you extra money and time. Lastly, you do not want your pets to get harmed in running away, which is something that unfortunately happens often with pets running into the streets.

To change the battery, remove the collar from your pet after securing him in a safe area. Remove the Powercap from the collar by twisting it loose. Then find the retaining disk that is stuck to the bottom of the Powercap. The battery will slide in and out if you remove the retaining disk.

You must use a knife or small cutting tool to cut around the retaining disk and remove it. Try using a small utility knife or kitchen paring knife. After you get the disk removed, you should be able to see your battery and slide it out.

Place your new battery into the Powercap. Make sure you insert the positive end first.

Make sure the prongs are in place before replacing the battery. You do not need to re-glue the lid of the disk because the prongs should hold it in place. Replace the Powercap into the collar and tighten.

After following these instructions you will see that replacing the battery is an easy job to do. If you have questions you should call the Invisible Fence help hotline for instruction. Now that you know how to change the battery for Invisible Fence dog collar systems, you should do it frequently. Ask your professional installer how often to change the battery to ensure the system works as it should. Doing so will keep you and your dog happy!
