Description
The Dogtra Battery BPRR is a 7.2V, 750mA pack for RR series launcher receivers. Launcher receivers often sit out in a field for hours, so a healthy battery decides whether the last bird of the day actually flies.
Will the Dogtra Battery BPRR fit my unit?
It fits RR series receivers. The RR Deluxe remote uses the BP72T. 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
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
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 covers the RRS, RRD and RR Deluxe.
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
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 BPRR questions
How many Dogtra Battery BPRR packs do I need?
One per launcher receiver. If you run several launchers, replacing them all at once keeps them evenly matched.
My receiver beeps but won’t launch. Is it the battery?
It could be a weak battery that can’t fire the solenoid. If a fresh pack doesn’t fix it, check the solenoid and its cable.
What if I order the wrong battery?
Unused parts in their original packaging can go back within 30 days. Details are on our shipping and returns page. Better still, ask us before ordering and we’ll check the fit.
