Oyster Battery Life

Modified on Fri, 20 Dec at 3:40 PM



The battery life estimate of 10 years for your devices is based on the device only reporting once per day to represent the longest the batteries can last. Your devices are configured to update every 5 minutes while moving and every 12 hours while stationary. The more the device is in motion, the quicker the batteries will deplete. We can adjust the settings to have the devices report less frequently when moving and you will certainly see a longer battery life. Some of our customers using this device for trucking applications opt to have the device report every hour or two while moving and once per day while stationary. I can make a similar change for you if you would like.
