How long does the battery last in the various tracking profiles?
The guaranteed battery life of 6 years can be achieved if the tracker is used in the preset standard tracking profile "6 years battery life" with the "light sensor" deactivated. In other tracking profiles, however, the battery life varies depending on usage, GPS signal strength, mobile signal and frequency of "light sensor" alarms.
Here is an estimate of battery consumption for different profiles if you have a new EverFind GPS tracker with new batteries:
6-year battery life: this is the default tracking profile, where a battery life of 6 years can be achieved when the light sensor is blocked and the GPS and cellular signal strength is good.
Smart mode: In this mode, the battery can last up to 4 years if the tracker remains stationary and does not move. However, if the tracker moves in this mode, the battery consumption depends on the movement. For example, if the tracker only moves for one hour per day and no light sensor alarm is triggered, the battery can last up to 14 months.
However, if the tracker is frequently in motion in smart mode, e.g. more than two hours per day, the battery consumption will be extremely high. In this case, the battery may only last a month or less depending on the frequency of movement.
Interval mode: If the tracker is set in this mode with an upload interval of 12 hours, the battery can last up to 3 years.
Recovery mode: When the tracker is set in this mode, the battery can last less than a month.
Note: Please note that the above battery runtimes are estimates and may vary depending on various factors. For example, higher GPS signal strength and higher cellular signal strength may result in lower battery consumption, while weaker signals may result in higher consumption. In addition, the frequency of "light sensor" alerts plays an important role; more frequent alerts can significantly affect battery life, while blocking or minimizing the triggering of the "light sensor" can help conserve battery power.
