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. If the charger works but run time is short, look at the battery. The 280C collar uses the BP37P3303P, for example.
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
We only sell genuine Dogtra chargers. The voltage, current and plug match what your unit was designed for. A charger that’s close but not right can charge slowly, run hot or never fully charge the battery.
