Phil, I owe you a fine Kentucky bourbon if/when our paths ever cross in the future. Your suggested fix of cleaning the contacts on the charging clip was right on. I gently used a small brass brush on them and on the mating contact points on the collar battery unit. I then cleaned them all up with a rag moistened with WD-40, and plugged the whole rig in. And Voila - I'm back in business! Thank you, thank you!
I do think that, as you also suggested, I am going to proactively purchase a replacement battery, based on your recommendation and a tech specialist, Paul, from GDS. My unit is a 2017 version, so I may be on borrowed time with the battery anyway. We are too close to hunting season to not be prepared to replace it, if necessary.
Thanks, again, Phil! Sure do appreciate you taking the time to offer some feedback!
All the best,
Dave
