after
about
250
full

Battery
Life:
Q:
What
is
the
typical
battery
life
under
normal
conditions
?
A:
The
battery
life
depends
on
the
GPS
report
interval
and
the
battery
size.
Assuming
a
1
hour
GPS
report
interval
and
1
minute
vibration
sense
report
interval,
with
‘Power
Save’
mode
enabled,
the
1800mAh
internal
battery
should
last
10
‐
14
days
and
the
15,600mAh
battery
should
last
at
least
30
days.
Operation:
Q:
Where
is
the
best
place
to
put
the
tracker
for
good
GPS
reception
?
A:
You
can
put
the
tracker
in
any
location
where
it
is
not
completely
encased
in
a
metal
box
or
beneath
large
amounts
of
concrete
like
in
the
basement
of
a
building.
The
GPS
tracker
needs
to
be
able
to
get
a
view
of
the
sky
if
possible,
so
close
to
a
window
is
optimal.
