Halo Collar Battery Life: What to Expect

To ensure your Halo Collar is always ready for use, we recommend charging it nightly. This helps you start each day with a full battery.

• Halo 5 Collar: ~1 hour to full charge, up to 48 hours of battery life

• Halo 4 Collar: 2–2.5 hours to full charge, up to 30 hours of battery life

• Halo 3 Collar: 2–2.5 hours to full charge, up to 24 hours of battery life

• Halo 2+ Collar: 2–2.5 hours to full charge, up to 20 hours of battery life

• Halo 2 and older: 2–2.5 hours to full charge, ~12–14 hours of battery life

Factors That Can Affect Battery Life

Battery life can vary depending on usage, environment, and settings. The following factors may cause the battery to drain faster than expected:

• Outdated firmware
  Running older firmware versions can reduce efficiency. Keeping your collar updated ensures optimal performance and battery optimization.
• Frequent use of the Halo App
  Increased app activity or background syncing can cause the collar to communicate more often, which may use additional battery.
• Poor cellular (LTE) or GPS signal
  In areas with weak signal (such as indoors, wooded areas, or dense urban environments), the collar works harder to maintain a connection, which can increase battery usage.
• Wi-Fi connectivity strength
  Weak or inconsistent Wi-Fi signals, especially during updates or syncing, can contribute to higher battery consumption.
• Beacon usage
  Beacons that remain on the account (even if unused or with low/dead batteries) that are still set to “listen” can cause additional background activity. Removing unused beacons can help improve battery life.
• Charging habits and accessories
  Using non-recommended charging blocks or inconsistent charging routines can impact battery performance over time. For best results, use a 20–25W charging block and charge nightly.
