Invisible fence collar batteries

Has anyone used a brand other than Invisible Fence for their Invisible Fence collars? At $25 a pop one of the dogs is blowing through her name brand ones. Any alternatives? My dog doesn’t seem to kill hers as quickly. Don’t want to waste money on a generic that does not last. Anyone have any ones that work as well as or better for cheaper than the Invisible Fence branded batteries?

Please no comments about if invisible fences are cruel. The dogs get 8 acres out of 80 to roam. It is just that little extra insurance to keep them at the home farm. They were going a few miles down the road without them. It is hard to work with 30+ horses and keep track of 3 labs and a JRT. Hard fencing on this farm is not really practical.

We’ve been using these. They’ve worked fine and seem to last as well as the brand name. Just make sure to put a brand name battery back in before you take your collar to the Invisible Fence dealer for a repair…we had a collar clip break and took it over for a replacement and got chewed out about how the warranty would be voided for using other batteries.

We also did have rechargeable ones for a while…but to be honest, it was a pain to remember when to recharge and after using them a while they seemed to not be holding a charge as well.
