This article gives you all the information about the battery life of your GPS Tracker. If you have any further questions about the GPS tracker we invite you to click here. If your inquiry relates to other products, we invite you to visit our Help Center.
The battery life of your GPS Tracker ranges from a few days to 3 months depending on the transmission frequency you choose (2 to 12 weeks at standard frequency), and can reach 4 to 6 months with light use. Details for each frequency are in the article Frequency of positions and battery life.
The battery life depends on the following parameters:
- Frequency of transmission: the higher it is, the more battery the tracker consumes.
- Tracker activity: if it moves a lot, or stays close to your personal Wifi network, then the tracker will send its position more frequently and consume more battery.
- Environment: if you Tracker travels in a dense urban environment, with many Wifi networks, your tracker will consume less battery power than if it is in a less dense environment, beyond the reach of Wifi networks (countryside, mountains...).
Battery wear
The battery is built in and sealed to keep the tracker waterproof: it cannot be replaced. Like any battery, it loses capacity as it ages. This gradual drop in battery life is normal wear and is not covered by the warranty.
To preserve the battery, do not leave the tracker plugged in all the time: this speeds up its wear.
