Description
The Dogtra Battery BP15RT is a 7.2V, 400mA pack for the 1100NC and 1200NCP. These are older Dogtra systems that a lot of trainers still use daily, and a fresh battery keeps them in the field.
Will the Dogtra Battery BP15RT fit my unit?
It fits the 1100NC and 1200NCP. Check your unit’s label to confirm. 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
If a full charge used to get you through a day in the field and now it’s dying by lunch, the battery is worn. Other giveaways are a unit that shuts off when you press a button, a battery light that drops from full to empty in minutes, or a charge light that never goes green. Rechargeable cells lose capacity with every cycle, so after a few seasons this is normal.
Fitting the new battery
It’s a small job. Power down, open the case, swap the plug-in battery and close it back up, keeping the waterproof gasket clean and in place. Don’t overtighten the screws. Charge it all the way before you take it out. If you’d like to see it done first, the manual for your model on Dogtra’s website shows the steps.
Charging and care
This is an older-style nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) pack. Ni-MH cells slowly lose charge even when they’re not being used, so give the unit a full charge the night before you need it. If it’s been sitting for months, a couple of full charge and use cycles will bring it back to full capacity. Use a Ni-MH charger such as the BC12VAUTO charger.
Keeping a spare
If the unit is something you depend on, buy two. Fit one now and keep the other in a dry bag for the day the first one runs low far from a plug. It’s a cheap bit of insurance.
Why genuine matters
We only sell genuine Dogtra batteries. They’re the same size, voltage and plug as the pack that came in your unit, so there’s no guessing about fit, and the compartment closes properly over them. That matters on a waterproof unit, where a cover that doesn’t sit flat can let water in.

My unit charges but dies quickly. Battery or charger?
