High Tech Pet Backup Battery B12V-1.3 for High Tech Pet Power Pet Doors

I had returned two of these batteries because the prongs were bent. This one is fine

Its great! Works exactly as advertised. Simple to install and requires no maintenance what so ever. It has performed brilliantly the three times we have lost power since I installed it. You will never know how much you appreciate you High Tech doggy door and emergency backup battery until the lights go out. Believe me you and your animals will definitely grow to depend on it without giving it much thought. Its just something you can count on.

Not sure why the light for the battery stays red all the time. But the one time I tested it. It seemed to work. Is the battery light supposed to stay red? Or should it turn green to indicate that it is fully charged?

I don't leave reviews. Ever. This battery is so bad, I had to warn others. I have the High Tech door and LOVE it. It's amazing. A bit of an eye sore, but a small price to pay for the convenience of the pups letting themselves out. The battery, on the other hand, is absolutely useless. I would like to have two batteries. One to use, and the other to charge and replace the active one when the battery is low. I have purchased SIX batteries total over the course of time. FIVE of them have never worked. The one that I have that works lasts a very long time. I expect you are wondering why I keep buying them. Because I need a second battery and I assume that I will eventually get a new one. Sadly, batteries are not returnable. I suck it up and try again. Only to be disappointed again and now I have paid nearly $175 in dead batteries. Absolutely absurd. This company needs to get its act together.

Great backup power pack

Fit in the door unit perfectly, plugged right in. Holds a charge ok, other than that, it's a backup battery....

Great for power outages so the dog can still go outside. The door is wonderful too. I don't have to be home at a certain time to let the dog out to do his business. he can use the door. It really gives me freedom to do what I want when I want.

It works!

LOve it

Seams to be all right time will tell .prongs need to be stratend to pug it in

The picture here is what the HiTech PX1 pet door uses. However, the battery that was sent, had the terminals bent into the position that other products use. I had to unbend them back into the straight up position. For me, that's not a biggie. But for someone who maybe doesn't know, if they do it wrong, they can break the terminals or short out between the two. The battery should be sent to customer EXACTLY as is in the pictures, terminals straight up. Once I did that, I got the battery to fit into the door and it works fine. In fact, it's a life saver and A MUST HAVE FOR THIS DOOR. The door has something that's not cool. It appears that when the power goes off (many of us have this problem), when the power returns, the door seems to default where the 2 sensor lights are out, which means, the pet cannont go out or come in. THAT'S DANGEROUS in the heat of summer or subzero temps of winter, or also in situations where other animals can come into the yard and attack the pet. What can happen, is the pet goes out, the power glitches or goes off and back on, the door resets, and now the pet can't get back in. I HOPE THAT THE FACTORY LOOKS AT THIS ISSUE AND MAKES THE DOOR DEFAULT TO BOTH ON FOR ENTER, EXIT.

The battery is what I was looking for but the reason it only got 3 out of 5 was because: 1. It is not an official High Tech Pet battery, it is a different name. 2. the prongs are not straight like the pictures, you have to bend them to make it work
