 Cheap alternative replacement! November 2, 2008
L. Whitney
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!
 RFA-188 short life October 8, 2008

It has been our experience that these batteries only last about 3 weeks or so. It is probably underspec'ed for the little dog collar, more than likely to save space and weight.
A little bigger battery with more capacity would be good...
Great fence, awful battery design June 7, 2008
S. Graham (Portland, OR)
THe Petsafe Invisible fence works fantastic, and I bought a standard size collar for my lab. The battery life, and overall performance is terrific. We got a second much smaller dog, and I made the mistake of buying the Petsafe Ultralight collar. It cost twice as much as the full size collar to start with, and as other reviewers have stated, the $10-$14 battery only lasts about 3 weeks, which makes the ongoing cost unacceptable.
Petsafe Battery Review April 17, 2008

The Petsafe Battery does not live up to the specs that indicate that it will be approximately 3 months life. One of the recent batteries I purchased was completely dead in 2 weeks. Typical is 2 months.
dies in about a month November 29, 2007

I've run through 3 of these.. .I keep meaning to break it apart and stick in a generic $3 battery, but haven't gotten around to it.
I have a tiny little dog that doesn't get anywhere near the fence, so the collar doesn't go off and yet the batteries last less than a month??!!
Petsafe.. come on.. . get with it.. make a rechargeable version, make it so we can put less expensive batteries in or something. 8 or 10 bucks a month is a bit too much.
Don't buy the "little dog collar".
