Keep both runtime claims in view
The product material says up to six weeks with Power Saving Zones; the support article also says 8–30 days. The available wording does not reconcile those conditions, so we leave a single DOG 6 XL runtime unconfirmed. Ask Tractive to clarify the applicable conditions if long gaps between charges are central to your choice.

Charge the XL using the named USB-C procedure
Tractive explicitly groups DOG 6 XL and DOG 6 together for charging. With a clean, dry port and an undamaged tracker, open the protective cover and connect the USB-C cable to a 5V supply. The bottom LED lights while charging, and the whole bar being lit means the charge is complete. A full charge takes about two hours.
If the charging light does not appear, the documented connector check is to unplug it, rotate the USB-C connector 180° and reconnect. If a warning appears or the device is damaged, stop rather than continuing ordinary connection checks.

Both LEDs blue: leave it unpowered while it dries
The moisture instructions explicitly include DOG 6 XL. Both LEDs turning blue indicates detected moisture: do not charge, gently wipe with a lint-free cloth, and let it air-dry for 24 hours. The port must be completely dry before charging; if it remains wet or the blue moisture LEDs remain on, do not reconnect the charger.
IP68 remains the product's listed protection rating. Daily care still includes closing the port cover when not charging, avoiding harsh cleaners and checking for visible damage. Put those checks alongside the moisture warning instead of assuming the protection label removes them.

FAQ
Tractive DOG 6 XL frequently asked questions
Each answer stays within the facts and sources shown on this page.
01Does DOG 6 XL's IP68 label mean the charging port needs no care?
No. Keep the port clean and dry for charging, close the cover when not charging, avoid harsh cleaners and inspect for visible damage. Those care instructions still apply to the tracker listed as IP68.
02Can I charge DOG 6 XL when both LEDs are blue?
No. Tractive identifies both blue LEDs as detected moisture. Do not charge; wipe gently with a lint-free cloth and air-dry for 24 hours. The port must be completely dry before charging; if it remains wet or the blue moisture LEDs remain on, keep the charger disconnected. The product's protection rating does not replace this stop instruction.
