You can test the battery operation in the YardMax Rechargeable In-Ground Fence Receiver Collar by removing the collar from your pet and walking into the boundary zone you have set up with the Receiver Collar in your possession.

Depending on how often your pet tests the boundaries and how frequently the warnings are emitted, each charge can last up to 3 months, but it is important to check the battery regularly to ensure that your system works properly.
There is a Receiver LED Indicator Light that slowly blinks red every 4 seconds when the battery is low, indicating that it needs to be charged.
The PetSafe YardMax Rechargeable In-Ground Fence Receiver Collar takes about 2-3 hours to fully charge.
Note that you should not charge your YardMax Rechargeable In-Ground Fence Receiver Collar every night as the frequent charging can have a negative effect on the battery life and performance.
