Battery Life Expectations

Battery Life Expectations 

!

These battery life predictions assume the following: 

!

• No display usage 

• Bluetooth off 

• GPS Early-wake set to 20s 

• Clear sky conditions 

!

!

As with all portable battery powered devices, battery life can be significantly shortened by extreme 

temperatures and some usage patterns. Key factors which will shorten the number of transmissions 

possible on a battery charge are: 

!

• Use of Bluetooth facilities 

• Use of GPS Hot Mode and Burst Mode 

• Poor positioning, so poor view of the sky (most likely!) 

• Use of the device with the display on for long periods of time
