Description
The Dogtra Battery BP37P2803P is the 3.7V, 280mA lithium-polymer battery for ARC series receivers. The ARC collar is slim, so it uses a small pack. When that pack wears out, the collar can go from lasting days to needing a charge every evening.
Will the Dogtra Battery BP37P2803P fit my unit?
It’s for the receiver (the collar) on ARC series systems. The ARC remote takes a different battery, the BP74T23P. 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
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
Treat it like your phone battery: charge it when it’s convenient, don’t let it sit dead for long, and keep it out of extreme heat. Store it part-charged in the off-season and it’ll last noticeably longer. The BC10V Auto charger lists the ARC among its models.
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.
Dogtra Battery BP37P2803P questions
Does the Dogtra Battery BP37P2803P fit the ARC Handsfree?
The ARC Handsfree uses the ARC receiver, so if your collar is labelled ARC, this is the pack. If in doubt, send us the label and we’ll confirm.
Is the receiver still waterproof after I change it?
It will be if the gasket is clean and seated properly when you close it up. That’s the step to take your time over.
Does it come charged?
It may have some charge from the factory, but give it a full charge before you rely on it.
