Cattle Collar Maintenance

At the end of the grazing season

1. Move the collars in the app to “no pasture”. 2. Remove the battery from the collar. 3. Clean the collars and batteries in lukewarm water, using a nylon brush such as a toothbrush. Do not use chlorine as this can damage the solar panels. If you wish to use disinfection, we recommend using Virkon S. 4. Charge the batteries; they are to be stored fully charged to ensure maximum performance and durability 5. The collars and batteries should be stored in a dry and clean place at room temperature

Ahead of the new grazing season

1. Make sure there is no dust or mud on the battery poles. Clean the poles using a cotton bud if needed. 2. Apply Vaseline at the bottom of the battery poles. Vaseline should only be applied to the poles on each side of the battery (+ and -), not in the middle one. See picture below. 3. The battery is now ready to be used.
