Just giving everyone a little tip. Back when I ran the DC30's, DC40's I found out that in the spring when everything was soaking wet outside, the screws would loosen just enough on the collars for moisture to get inside the battery case and it would ruin my collars. Since then I have always checked my collars come spring and this year was no different, most of my tt10 collar screws were loose, some by more than two full turns.

I would just play it safe and check them all, on the older 30's and 40's you had to remove the collar plate to get to some of the screws but on the newer models they are easily accessible.

Thanks for the advice. I know my prongs used to come loose on my TT classic 70's, but I never thought about checking the screws.
