Batteries

Lifetime and positions

The battery is designed to send a certain number of positions.

The battery life is given as an indication on the basis of 1 GSM position per day.

Increasing the frequency of sending positions will decrease the battery life.

Example: Asset Tracking XL, 6500 positions = 15 years at a rate of one GSM position/day.

The same beacon that would send 4 GPS positions per day + 1 hour of movement per day with alert and position triggering every 15 minutes during the movement = 1 year of battery life.

It is not possible to evaluate the precise impact of the settings on the battery: many factors influence the life span: outdoor temperature, topography, GSM/GPS, frequency of ascents, number of activated sensors, mobility of the goods.....

Replacing the battery

ALERT / REPLACEMENT THRESHOLD: If you have set the low battery level alert, the alert will be triggered when the level waits 10%*. This gives you time to replace it (several months depending on the intensity of the settings made: alerts, number of daily positions...)

Replacement on Assets Protection XL and Container

You should not replace the battery yourself. These beacons have a gasket that keeps them sealed. This one is replaced each time the beacon is opened. This is why this operation is carried out by our technical service.

Procedure: Contact customer service to arrange for a temporary loan of a beacon while we replace the battery.

OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL RESET THE BATTERY LEVEL ON THE WEB APPLICATION TO 100% WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION FROM YOU
