The Batteries In Your Tri-tronics Electronic Collar

Both receivers and transmitters on a Tri-Tronics dog training collar system have re-chargeable batteries. The transmitter will let you know when the system needs to be re-charged, as well as let you know when the battery is fully charged. When your transmitter displays a green light, it means that the battery is fully charged, but when you see a flashing red light, it means the battery is out of energy. You do not want your battery to completely die, especially when you are in the field with your dog.

Each Tri-Tronics training collar system comes with a charger that fits into a wall outlet that is supplied by the company. You want to make sure that you only use this AC power supply to re-charge your batteries. The best aspect about NiMH batteries is that they can be recharged any time. So it is a good idea to keep the batteries in the recharging cradle when they are not in use. This way, you can be sure of having fresh batteries all of the time.

The recharging cradle will also flash red when the batteries are being charged and give you the green light when they have been fully charged. Batteries should never be recharged when they are hot or in a hot environment, such as your car.

Although some of the Tri-Tronics remote training collars have receivers that are waterproof, the charging cradle is not water proof, so this is something that you should know when you take the unit for charging. If you are hunting with your animal, chances are the receiver is going to get dirty and even wet. You will want to be sure to clean the receiver before putting it into the cradle to charge. A waterproof receiver can be cleaned with water, but should be completely dried off before recharging.

During the months when the training collar unit is in storage, you should still recharge the batteries at least every four months so that they remain in good condition. Not charging batteries will cause them to lose power. When you find that the batteries are not recharging properly or giving you enough use, it may be time to change the batteries.

When changing the batteries for the receiver or the transmitter, always make sure that you get the batteries that are made for this system. Order the batteries that are made for your Tri-Tronics training system.
