Which models does the Dogtra Charger 5V1000 5.5 fit?

There isn’t a model list on our page for this charger, so match it to the label on your old one: 5V, 1000mA, 5.5 plug. If the label has worn off, send us a photo of the unit and we’ll tell you which charger you need.

Splitter cables

Dogtra chargers don’t come with splitter cables. If you want to charge the remote and collar at the same time, add the right splitter to your order. The 5-5 splitter suits most current models.

Charging tips

Plug the charger into the wall first, then into the unit. A red light while charging and green when full is normal on most Dogtra units. Two hours or so is typical for a lithium unit from flat, and older Ni-MH units take longer. Your model’s manual on Dogtra’s website has the exact charging times and light codes.

Is it the charger or the battery?

A charger is usually the problem when the charge light never comes on, comes on and goes off, or a battery you know is good won’t charge. Check the plug isn’t bent, try another wall socket, and look for a kinked or chewed cable.

A spare for the truck

Lots of people keep one charger at home and a second in the truck or the dog box. That way the remote and collar get topped up on the drive to the field.

Looking after the charging port

Most charging problems start at the port, not the charger. Water, mud and dog hair get in there, especially if the rubber cap gets left open. Let the port dry completely before plugging in, brush out any grit, and replace the cap if it’s torn. Caps are cheap and they’re what keeps a waterproof unit waterproof.

Off-season storage

Before you put your gear away for the summer or winter, give each unit a part charge, then store it somewhere that doesn’t freeze or bake. Keep the charger with it so you’re not hunting for it on the first morning of the season.

Why a genuine charger

A generic charger with the right plug isn’t always the right charger. Dogtra matches each charger to the battery type and voltage, which is why the model lists matter. Everything we sell is original Dogtra.
