Maxi Pet Unterirdischer Zaun (83016)

The old version had issues with water getting into the batteries. The new version has a sealed water tight battery. This was introduced as an improvement to prevent the system failing. Most suppliers will bulk sell batteries the cost via a web purchase also covers the postage charge. The new batteries last about 6 months. Most cats will quickly learn where the boundaries are and not actually need the batteries replaced. If you live close to a main road and you want to give your cat the freedom of the garden this system can help to keep your cat safe.

I bought this to replace an old model that I have had for approximately eight years. It was great. Never had any problems - until the receiver unit that fits around the cats neck died. I decided that eight years was a good innings, so I bought another one to replace it. First and foremost, I was somewhat taken aback to discover that when the battery in the collar gives up the ghost, it now costs around seven or eight quid to replace! The old original was no more than a few pence, as it did not involve the completely unnecessary "new design" all singing/dancing gizmo they have come up with to make even more money out of people who buy their product. Greed is a terrible thing. Ain't £150 enough? Obviously not. It leaves a nasty taste. It's not just this. I have discovered that it's very impo rtant to make sure you fit the collar the right way up! You would think it wouldn't matter, but it does. Your cat will get "zapped" at completely different distances depending on this, so make sure you always put it on the same way each time you fit it. No idea why this should be the case, but it is. What a shame that this company felt the need to design a unit that made it necessary for their customers to spend a lot more than they should for replacement batteries.
