Description

The Dogtra Splitter Cable 5-3 is the charging splitter for older Dogtra units. It lets one charger power two units at once.

Which models does the Dogtra Splitter Cable 5-3 fit?

Dogtra lists it for the 175NCP (S/N below 103471), 200NCP (S/N below 111361), 202NCP (S/N below 101961) and the 1800NC series below certain serial numbers. Some 1800-series models also need a 3-3 splitter as well.

5-3 or 5-5?

Newer units with serial numbers above those cutoffs use the 5-5 splitter instead. Check the serial on the label before you order.

Charging tips

Charge somewhere cool and dry, not on the dashboard or next to a heater. Wipe the charging port dry before you plug in if the unit’s been in water, and push the rubber cap back in as soon as you unplug. Your model’s manual on Dogtra’s website has the exact charging times and light codes.

Is it the charger or the battery?

Chargers fail more often than people think, usually at the cable where it bends near the plug. If wiggling the cable makes the light flicker, that’s your answer.

A spare for the truck

A spare charger in the travel bag means a forgotten plug doesn’t end a hunting trip. It’s one of the cheapest bits of insurance in the kit.

Looking after the charging port

Check the charging port now and then with a torch. Green or white crust on the pins means moisture has been getting in. A dry toothbrush usually cleans it up. Then make sure the rubber cap seals properly, and replace it if it doesn’t.

Off-season storage

Store chargers with the units they belong to, ideally in the original case or a labelled bag. If you own several Dogtra systems, a strip of tape with the model name on each charger saves a lot of guessing later.

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.
