With the right configuration, your dog's Fi Collar can go months in between charges. Performance will depend on set up, as the condition that most drains the battery is powering on the cellular antenna. The Fi Collar only powers on the cellular antenna when your dog is away from an owner. Below you'll find what performance you can expect from different situations.
