About this replacement
Garmin Pro Control 2 RX — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (361-00022-14)
This 3.7V, 3350mAh Li-ion battery fits the Garmin Pro Control 2 RX remote receiver (010-12400-04), the handheld transmitter used in field dog training systems. It replaces OEM part 361-00022-14 directly. Swap it in when the original cell no longer holds a charge between training sessions.
- Pro Control 2 RX and PRO Control 2 remote receiver compatibility: Both units run the same 3.7V power rail and share the same BMS handshake protocol and connector format, which is why a single cell covers the full model range listed above.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on the Pro Control 2 RX platform. The BMS accepted the cell without error flags, balanced correctly at full charge, and held voltage within expected range under transmitter load.
- First GPS acquisition after install: After fitting this battery, take the receiver and collar outside and allow 5–10 minutes for the first GPS fix. Power interruption triggers a cold start — the unit must re-acquire satellite signals from scratch, which takes noticeably longer than the warm-start updates you see during normal use.
Why the Pro Control 2 RX drains faster in rural and low-signal areas
When cellular coverage is weak or absent, the collar module and the remote receiver both increase transmission power to maintain the link. GPS also works harder in open terrain with obstructed sky views, polling satellites more frequently. Both factors run concurrently during active field use, which puts a higher continuous draw on the cell than casual backyard sessions. Switching the system to periodic reporting mode rather than continuous tracking reduces that draw significantly when real-time location updates are not needed.
Pro Control 2 RX not re-syncing to the Garmin app after battery replacement
A full power interruption clears the active Bluetooth and cellular session between the remote and the paired app. The device does not automatically re-register — it waits for the app to initiate a new connection. Open the Garmin Hunt or compatible companion app, navigate to device settings, and force a manual sync with the receiver powered on and held within 3 metres of the phone. If the pairing entry has dropped, re-add the device through the app's add-device flow and confirm the receiver shows a steady link LED before heading to the field.
