How to Optimize the Battery Life of Your Emma Tracking Device

Learn how to optimize the battery life of your Emma IoT tracking device with simple tips for longer, efficient performance.

Updated over 6 months ago

The Emma Tracking device has an approximate battery life of 2 years under normal usage in rough conditions. However, various factors can influence battery performance.

πŸ”‹ Factors That Reduce Battery Life

  • Cold Temperatures: Prolonged exposure to extreme cold drains the battery faster.

  • Frequent Data Sampling: High data transmission frequency increases power consumption.

  • Frequent Temperature Changes: Fluctuations over 0.5Β°C will trigger more frequent data sampling, which increase energy use.

  • Continuous Movement: Lack of rest periods prevents energy-saving modes from activating.

  • Poor GSM Signal: Constantly searching for a signal in areas with weak coverage drains power quickly.

βœ… Tips to Maximize Battery Life

  1. Avoid Extreme Cold: Store and use the device in moderate temperatures when possible.
    ​

  2. Optimize Data Settings: Reduce data sampling frequency if real-time updates are not critical.
    ​

  3. Stable Environments: Minimize rapid temperature shifts.
    ​

  4. Limit Continuous Movement: When feasible, allow the device to remain stationary periodically.
    ​

  5. Improve Signal Coverage: Use in areas with strong GSM reception to reduce power strain.

By following these tips, you can help extend the battery life of your Emma device, ensuring reliable tracking for longer periods.
