A practical, step-by-step guide to charging EZ/PE 900 series and FOB 500 series gear with the auto charger, plus checks that prevent a dead collar on the road.

Quick answer

Use the Auto Charger for EZ/PE 900 Series & FOB 500 Series in a standard 12 V vehicle socket, connect the correct charging cable to the transmitter or receiver, and confirm the charge indicator before leaving it unattended.

Why the vehicle socket matters more than the cable

Car charging problems usually come from the power source, not the charger. Some vehicles cut power to the 12 V socket when the ignition is off, so a collar left to charge overnight may receive nothing. Others keep the socket live, which can drain the vehicle battery if you leave a device plugged in for days. Check your owner's manual for how your socket behaves, and treat a quick top-up during a drive as the safest routine.

What this charger is not designed to do

The auto charger is a car accessory, not a universal power supply. It is listed for the EZ/PE 900 series and FOB 500 series, and the catalog does not state compatibility with other E-Collar Technologies models or with third-party devices. If you own a different series, confirm fit before relying on it. Also note that the catalog does not list output voltage, cable length, or port type, so plan around the charger you receive rather than assuming a particular connector.

How to charge EZ/PE 900 or FOB 500 gear in the car

Check the device is switched off: Turn off the transmitter or receiver before connecting the charger. Charging a device that is still on can slow the process and makes it harder to judge whether the indicator reflects a real charge. If the indicator does not respond, switch the device off and reconnect before assuming the charger is faulty.
Plug the auto charger into a 12 V socket: Insert the charger into the vehicle's 12 V accessory socket and push it fully home. A loose plug is the most common reason a car charge appears to do nothing. Test the socket with another accessory if the charger feels loose or the indicator stays dark.
Connect the charging cable to the device: Attach the charger's cable to the charging port on the EZ/PE 900 series or FOB 500 series unit. Do not force a connector; if it does not seat easily, check you are using the correct cable and port. Keep the cable relaxed rather than bent tightly against the port, especially in a crowded console.
Confirm the charge indicator: Watch for the device's charging indicator before you start driving. If nothing lights up, recheck the socket, the cable connection, and whether the vehicle socket is live with the ignition in its current position. A charger that works in one vehicle but not another points to the socket, not the charger.
Charge during a drive, then disconnect: Use driving time for a top-up and unplug the device when the charge is complete. Leaving gear connected to a live socket for long periods serves no purpose and can mask a charging fault. Store the charger in the vehicle so it is available before the next session, not after the battery is already low.
