Old Lohman cassete caller....... battery help?
Permalink  
 

I loaned an old Lohman cassette caller to my brother-in-law a few years ago.... that's how long I guess he thought borrowing was for. I guess the batteries went out and instead of trying to replace them with was original...... he wired in a Power Wheels battery. I cannot find any model numbers or seriel number on it anywhere. Does anyone know of what type or number batteries it is supposed to have. Would be nice to have it back online. It originally came in a camo bag with a speaker, charger, and the unit.

Hi Mallard,

If you have a "battery store" like Batteries Plus around you can simply pull those cells and they can determine the right sized replacements.  You probably can also get help at Radio Shack or by searching the web.

I replaced the batteries in my Lohman CD Caller many years back and was successful in extending its life.

Long term I suggest upgrading to an all digital FoxPro.  They are a wonderful company to deal with after the sale, too.  Big league customer service, when and if you ever need it.

Good Luck and Good Hunting,

Gadget Bob

Wish I had the old ones to reference....... he threw them away. Lohman isn't in business anymore are they? I thought they were bought out by Flambeau.

Find your positive/negative wires and wire them to a 6 volt lantern (roboduck) battery.  It is rechargeable and will last a significant amount of time.

That is what I did to mine.  Have the exact call.

If you can determine if it's a 6v or 12v battery, you can probably get those from Cabelas. I have a Western Rivers/Cabelas branded cassette caller and it uses one 12v. Here's a couple of links for your reference:

12V Battery

6V Battery

Go to any electronic supply company and ask for a 6V 4.5amp battery. Purchase two of them and wire together. These type of batteries are used for burglar and emergency light signs. I just purhased two a few weeks ago for my exact Lohman caller.
