Description
The Dogtra Battery BP20R is a 3.6V, 345mA pack for the 175NCP and 200NCP. These are older Dogtra models, and a fresh battery is often all an otherwise healthy unit needs.
Will the Dogtra Battery BP20R fit my unit?
It fits the 175NCP and 200NCP. There’s also a BP12RT listed for the same models, so check the old battery’s label to be sure which one you have. 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
Short run time is the main sign. Others include the unit turning off mid-session, a charge that won’t hold overnight, or a battery that looks swollen when you open the case. A swollen pack should come out straight away and shouldn’t be charged again.
Fitting the new battery
Turn the unit off first. Most Dogtra units open with a small Phillips screwdriver. Take the cover off and unplug the old battery’s connector gently, pulling on the plug itself and not the wires. Plug in the new one the same way round. Make sure the rubber gasket is clean and sitting in its groove before you close the cover, because that seal is what keeps water out. Then charge it fully before you use it. The owner’s manual for your model, on Dogtra’s website, shows where the battery sits.
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. The BC12VAUTO charger lists the 175NCP and 200NCP.
Keeping a spare
Plenty of trainers keep a second battery charged and ready in the kit bag. If one dies halfway through a hunt or a long session, a quick swap gets you back to work. Keep the spare about half charged and top it up before a trip, because lithium batteries don’t like sitting full or empty for months.
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.
Dogtra Battery BP20R questions
How do I tell the Dogtra Battery BP20R from the BP12RT?
They’re different voltages, 3.6V and 4.8V. The number printed on your old battery is the quickest way to match them.
My unit is very old. Will it still work?
If it switches on and charges, a new battery usually brings back normal run time.
Is it a genuine Dogtra part?
Yes. We only sell new, original Dogtra parts, not third-party copies.
