7days per battery recharge try 7hours now sadly not even a day goes by when I forget to take it off the charger because honestly it is constantly an issue about expiry of battery if you forget to unplug it doesnt know its full so it harms itself no auto stop on continuong to overdo what it wouldnt need to if any actual true regulation fact checking had been in place to ask for a better battery life than deceiving customers who should be all writing one stars for reviews as using this requires babysitting the thing in anxious anticipation a replacement yeilded the same one day span thats a 7th of the box estimates for battery expiration ..I contacted the vendor recommended I set the tracker to not be activated needlessly by setting the trackers software conditional alerts to transit alerts only wheny dog escapes they call that a digital fence no exageration no noted lifespan was improved by doing that and i prepaid for a year for a second device to double fact check before spitting venom like a dishonest yelp troll might falsely declare im not seeing any other reviews only one or two experiencing this low excuse for a week of juice it claimed i would be protected this is nearly a loss of my own teeth to express my disgust for the fragile runner that is still snapped and three weeks later no replacement has been recieved no delivery tracking nor any estimates match the request for another strap ignored so now Im forced to open a paypal dispute they likely have a single employee who deals with all online website orders who is 80 and recovering from her own misery as a proud owner of the same frustration i am finally giving up to replace ahead of my subsscription for both double payment thinking im better to charge and reverse only makes it more of a chore than a chance at tracking my dog and i forget tomswap them every other day the alerts of the fence dont activate if its dead now would it making my investment worthless wouldnt it be more believable if others stated the same low lifespan and im only seeing one or two bad reviews of all is sickening. An actual metal clip rather than some melted down rubber chinese and weakly snapped in under 6 months still angers me most as if I ordered it a month back and no provided lack of shipping confirmation nor replay for a replacement lost in transit but no one any one accepting im wondering why have added at least a star more than this poor complaint is affording if not for the crickets on the phone no one answering me and my voicemails wheres my order are ignored still today no replacement order im forced to replace the entire unit since if it falls off while shes wearing it i wouldnt get her back nor the device my money made worthless whatever ill cancel and request a refund this is crap take my word for it and look first for a GPS with a better battery as the most essential component over nice looking or extra app features likely theres some tracker better I admit this was the first one I tried And im wishing it worked as advertized i am shocked hardly anyone gets bothered by reattaching and unattaching daily a piece of runner that as a life protection attachment should withstand the life of the unit as the daily banysitting makes this thing break within under a year and replacing the gummy strap will leave you three weeks confused wheres the order i made no replay on their end yet ive called and email but no one is answering ill later complain and lodge a dispute but i have to protect my dog first by studying an alternative more long lasting solution im tired of looking at my dog and being reminded I forgot to reattach the thing after leavingit again two nights on the charger (this is not good for the thing doesnt know its already full and kills the battery by constantly requiring nursing the digital fence doesnt stop it from being daily annoyingly alerting me of low battery its been six months since replacing the thing already to try again to much time wasted trying to recharge and replace it brakes the strap and no delivery confirmation makes this investment worthless true facts i hate to write trash talk for warning future customers but simply redesign this strap with metal and replace the weak dishonest battery with one that outlasts an old iphone 6plus from a decade ago! Lets check closely the declaration of recharge time as my dog is worth the effort in priceless love Id have my marriage canceled if she escaped and this thing was off for my mind is not perfect so i forget to check it daily as if that were acceptable as its only fault the review is rather long winded but im so frustrated with it today and i give up. Works for a day and dies again making me try another for i prepaid another subscription to fact check this is not a one off trust me its no 7 day battery no phone even my iphone 13 promax doesnt do that and its $1,500 so explain the false week reported makes no sense to claim it is a defective double dud order when neither unit lasts over a day before alert declares the thing empty again no way not my dog im not risking the thing falling apart just to continue to trust a product i can find an alternative solution with better effort in quality control hopefully not another decietful reported low lifespan or a battery that kills itself by remaining on charge after full like this one does.
