6.1. Maintenance and storage for cattle
collars
At the end of the grazing season
• Move the collars in the app to “no pasture”
• Remove the battery from the collar
• 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.
• Charge the battery. We recommend removing the battery from the charger when fully charged
• The collars and batteries should be stored in a dry and clean place at room temperature.
Ahead of the new grazing season
• Make sure there is no dust or mud on the battery poles. Clean the poles using q-tips if needed
• 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
• The battery is now ready to be used
