Description
The Dogtra Battery BP12RT is a 4.8V, 400mA pack listed for the 175NCP and 200NCP. Old unit? Still worth saving. If yours won’t hold a charge anymore, a new battery is the simplest way to keep it working for a few more seasons.
Will the Dogtra Battery BP12RT fit my unit?
It fits the 175NCP and 200NCP. The BP20R is also listed for these models, so match the number on your old battery. Check the model name on the back of your remote or on the receiver label before you order. If it’s worn off, send us a photo and we’ll tell you which battery you need.
Signs it’s time for a new battery
Most owners notice it in the field first. The remote dies earlier than it used to, or the collar stops responding at the end of a long day. If the charger, contacts and cable all check out and the run time is still short, it’s the battery.
Fitting the new battery
Switch the unit off and open the battery compartment, which on most models means removing a few small screws. Unplug the old pack, holding the plug and not the wires. Fit the new one, tuck the wires so they won’t get pinched, and check the seal is seated before tightening the screws evenly. Give it a full charge before the first session. The owner’s manual for your model, on Dogtra’s website, shows where the battery sits.
Charging and care
Ni-MH batteries self-discharge faster than lithium, so a unit that was full in spring can be flat by autumn. Charge it the evening before training. For long storage, charge it fully first and top it up every couple of months. Charge it with the BC12VAUTO charger.
Keeping a spare
A spare is worth thinking about if you hunt for several days at a time or run more than one dog. It costs a lot less than a lost day in the field. Label it with the date you bought it so you know which pack is older.
Why genuine matters
Everything we sell is original Dogtra stock, brand-new. An exact match means the cover closes flat, the gasket seals, and the charger reads the battery correctly. Those are the three things that tend to go wrong with packs that only roughly fit.
