Old Tri-Tronics Collar Battery Replacement

[Duluthian]

Does any one have any information on replacing the rechargeable batteries in an older collar and transmitter? I have an old 200 lite that the batteries are dead on. Specifically I'm trying to find out how to open the old metal style collar housing. I hope that if I can get it open a battery supply store could rebuild the packs with new batteries. The only other option I know of is to send it to the collar clinic in MI and pay premium to have them do it. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Let me make a call and see what I can find out.

Setterguy,

My neighbor gave me an old tritronics - "Flyway Special" The catch is, he lost the receiver in a corn field. Do you know where I can find a replacement. Is it even worth replacing? Thanks for the help.

Does the collar have a number on it anywhere? If it does they can look back and find the frequency used for that collar and program a transmitter for it. I have an email in on the first question and am just waiting to find out.

After rereading the post, I have one question. Did he lose the collar or the transmitter?

He lost the transmitter. I have it at home and will see if I can locate that serial number. Thanks for the help.

Just an update I did get into the collar this weekend. I'm taking the battery packs over a battery specialty store to have them rebuilt. I will post again with the end result.
