OK, so here's the deal. The collars use to come with standard batteries that you could pick up at the store for about $5.00, but PetSafe decided they could make much more money if they sealed the batteries in a "Easy to replace" cartridge and charge you double the price of regular batteries. I was VERY dissatisfied with the life of their batteries and the cost, although I love the performance of their system. As a result I carefully filed down the top of their battery cartridge so that I could extract the battery in it. I then found a replacement battery online. The cost for a battery for my dogs collar was $12.50. I found I could replace the battery inside the sealed unit for $4.00. Needless to say, I am once again a fan. So here is the tip: Take a worn out battery unit out of your dog's collar. Carefully file away the plastic lip that holds the battery in the unit. Take a pair of needle nose pliers and remove the battery and then identify the battery type. I have two dogs that wear these collars and they take different batteries (one is a Boxer, the other a mini-Shnauzer). However I have found that I can replace the batteries for one-third the price that PetSafe asks for battery replacement. Other than the battery issue, these collars and fence syatems are awesome!

We've had a PIF wireless fence system for about 3 years and it's always worked great for us. We recently added a second dog to the family and picked up an additional collar. Below is a comparison between the original PIF collars and this new one:
Pros:
- Lighter weight
- Low battery indicator
- Multiple correction levels
- Easy to change the battery
- Better range*
Cons:
- Uses a proprietary battery that I can't just go pick up at any store like I can the old collar (only a problem if you don't have a major pet store nearby-- which I don't).
- More features, easily removable battery, might mean just more stuff to go wrong.
- Better range*
Ok, I listed "better range" as both good and bad, and it is. It's an improvement on the old collar, so if you're replacing or have a new fence system, that's great. If you're using this collar in conjunction with an old collar then you can expect one dog to have a slightly bigger (about 40ft diameter) roaming range then the other. We have a large yard so it's not an issue, but in a smaller yard, I can see where it could potentially become a problem.
All in all, a great product, good, sound construction, and the PIF wireless system has been great for us. The new collar has some advantages and disadvantages to the original one that shipped with the system, but most of the changes are good. The collar (and the system itself) is definitely worth the money for its ease of use and for keeping your pet safe. Amazon has it cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else online.

My husband and I raise AKC labs and have used the Petsafe Wireless system for years. Our dogs learn quickly where their boundary is, and have not suffered any ill affects from this excellent product. We recommend this product to all purchasers of our Labs. Not only will it keep them safely within the confines of their yard, it prevents them from being hurt by possibly wandering onto nearby busy streets. I'd rather they be "warned" by a very small "charge" of electricity than lose them to the wheels of a car. So far, we have purchased 4 of these collars, and I'm ordering more today. FYI, the company producing these collars really go out of their way to make sure the product is correct and have stood behind their guarantee when we had a small problem with one of them. They sent me a new collar and had us return the old one...in that order, no questions!! Pretty good customer service in today's day and age!!! I'll continue to do business with them!!!

Collar
I have had this system for about four years and love it. I needed an extra collar for a new dog and it works great.

Eh..
The receiver itself works good, but the collar was cheap and frayed within a week. I've already had to buy a replacement.

just as pictured
We switched from an underground fence to a wireless fence after the wire kept getting cut by the utility company. The extra collar works great and we've had no issues.
