How long will the CR-2 battery in the transmitter last? should I buy replacements with this transmitter, or will it last at least a year?

I purchased my set on July 3rd, 2013 and the CR-2 battery in the transmitter has already died. Part of the problem is that the switches on both the transmitters and receivers are very touchy - often I've opened my camera bag to find that some or all of them have flipped on. I eventually jimmied a piece of gaffers tape to the transmitter to keep the switch in place, with some success. So, from my experience you're looking at about 6 months of life from the battery, with light to moderate use.

I own a set for me and one for me wife, both work with the same transmitter. I don't know how significant it is, but one of the units shorts out on me when I add new batteries. It very well may be because they warned me in their literature to charge the unit for no more than 12 hours, and I forgot and left it plugged in for the whole weekend! Still using the other one, but for more info see a previous "answer/review."

The battery is a CR2032 and the tuner comes with a battery. I've only had it about two months so I don't know how long the battery will last. But I love the tuner and use it a lot.

Unlike a similar model from Polar, the Sigma transmitter is supposed to have a user-replaceable battery. I see where it goes but haven't tried it yet.

I haven't lost the transmitter,so I have no answer for that. Please get in touch with DEBBIE,who you bought it from..I am sure she will give you the right information.

I have had several of the Pawz Away transmitters for over 4-years to keep my rambunctious bulldog out of the shrubs and garden. The batteries tend to last 6-months or longer. They are easy to change. I buy the D Batteries in large packages from CostCo.

Hello Anthony, it works very reliable and much better than the small key chain controller or the ones who come within the box. I can't tell much about life expectancy as I only use it for 2 years now....but guess its the same as every remote control depending on every day usage etc.

My recollection is that would last for a couple of hours. I just tested mine for one hour and it is still working. Of course the range is limited may 20 ft at best and if contact between the compilot and remote mike is lost ( Bluetooth needs back and forth contact) then it will stop transmitting. Perhaps the battery is worn out. I think the mike will work if it is plugged into the charger while it is in use, and if so, this might solve the problem without looking for someone to replace the battery.

BI do not know if the transmitter is waterproof, but if you call Dogtra on Monday they will tell you if it is waterproof. Battery is good for approx. 2 yrs...

My Band uses three of these and we haven't had any issues, however you should know that the battery door for the transmitter is kind of bad and sometimes it would open slightly and lose contact with The transmitter so I would recommend you tape the transmitter shut

Yes it works but the radio draws 1.7 amps on transmit and the components are only rated at 1 amp and will get very hot on the back if you are transmitting.It will last about 3 months before it dies. I had to change the circuit and add a power transistor to handle the current.

We have bought two systems. There is a battery in the bottom of the console and one in the piece mounted outside. We have not had to replace ours but my son had to replace his battery on the outdoor transmitter. If saying transmitter then it should be your outside piece.

I don't believe there is a way to tell until the transmitter and/or receivers stop working. The batteries should last a long time though. We have devices that use the same battery and they lasted at least two years, in most cases more than that long. Hope this helps.

yes this is a very good product and highly recommend it....is best to leave plugged in but runs fine on batteries....not sure how long it last but a guess is at least 2 or 3 hours... a great product really.....my transmitter is plugged in at my computer but the speakers work fine on batteries......i use mine for Pandora on my computer and works great...

After using for a nearly two months, it was not working all the time. I replaced the battery in the Transmitter ( Black with the small Antenna) its a 9v,,and it started working again.

Sadly, you will need to purchase the transmitter piece. I believe that this is just the replacement batteries.
