How long is the life of the GPS tracking device?

The service life of GPS vehicle locator is related to many factors. Generally, the service life of electronic products is three to four years, and some can be used for six to seven years. This is closely related to the quality of the equipment and the way of installation and use.

1. Generally speaking, for wired locator equipment, there will be a power IC on the circuit board to prevent overcharging. Just like mobile phones, if regular long-term charging affects the life of the battery, the locator is the same. Generally, low-cost locators have only one-level power protection, while companies that value product quality will use three-level power ICs to protect the work of GPS vehicle-mounted locator modules.

2. The choice of positioning chip in GPS vehicle locator is also a decisive factor in determining product quality and service life. General and ordinary locator products are single-core locators, which have poor positioning effect and weaker data processing capabilities. The high-quality locator uses imported intelligent high-speed chips, which are faster than the traditional single-core locator, and the system operation is very smooth. The reason is like the CPU of a computer. Will it continue to be used if the card is not good enough? I just want to change it early.

3. GPS vehicle locator is also an electronic device after all. It is usually considered to be removed for charging after being installed in the car for a long time. If it is a fixed position, it will even be left in the car until it is completely damaged. For this reason, the positioner is also exposed to wind and rain on the car. In order to protect the internal parts of the positioner, experienced companies require the positioner to be waterproof and dustproof, effectively extending the service life of the positioner. But at the same time, it should be noted that waterproofing does not mean that it is not afraid of water. The waterproof of the positioner is only waterproof, not anti-soaking. Therefore, when installing the GPS vehicle locator, keep it away from the air outlet of the air conditioner and the condenser tube to prevent the temperature difference from causing condensate to accumulate and affect the life of the device.

4. In addition to being waterproof, it must also be protected against high temperatures, and avoid installing on the roof, exhaust pipes and other high-temperature locations. In summer, the temperature in these places can reach above 80-100 degrees, which completely exceeds the operating temperature range of the positioner. Therefore, if you want to have a long-life positioner, not only depends on the product quality of the positioner itself, but also depends on the user's use method and installation location.

Reference of precautions for use and maintenance of GPS built-in lithium battery

1. Don't deliberately put the GPS built-in lithium battery clean and charge it. It can be charged when the system prompts that the battery is low. It should be that the damage to the lithium battery is not small due to over discharge.

2. To use the random charging accessories for charging, do not use a third-party charger.

3. Most car GPS lithium batteries are built-in, so don't disassemble or modify the battery privately.

4. Try to avoid exposing the body to extremely high or low temperature environments, and avoid liquid erosion.

In fact, the built-in lithium battery of the car GPS is not as fragile as you think. With a little care and reasonable maintenance, the service life of the built-in lithium battery can be maintained at more than 3 years. If you change bad habits, you can give the built-in lithium battery the greatest protection. , Let it give full play to its electric energy to provide a stable endurance guarantee for the car navigator.

At present, most mainstream car GPS on the market adopt the power supply mode of built-in lithium battery. Lithium-ion batteries have obvious advantages over traditional nickel-hydrogen and nickel-cadmium batteries with the characteristics of stable discharge and small size. Many portable electronic digital products in the market have adopted lithium-ion battery power supply.

However, lithium-ion batteries are not perfect. Lithium batteries have strict requirements for the use environment, and the high battery cost and relatively small discharge current are also disadvantages that cannot be ignored. As a major user of lithium-ion batteries: in-vehicle GPS products, you should be more cautious when using lithium batteries as a power supply method. In terms of daily battery maintenance, many inadvertent habits may cause fatal damage to the built-in lithium battery of the car navigation system. Then we have summed up some experience from the use method and daily maintenance of the built-in lithium battery in the car to share with you.

When using car GPS, many users habitually plug in the car charger regardless of whether the battery is sufficient. This usage will cause harm to the lithium battery, and even make the built-in lithium battery unusable. Because after plugging the GPS into the car, the on-board power supply will charge the built-in lithium battery. If the user habitually uses GPS navigation, it is equivalent to charging and discharging every time it is used, which affects the life of the battery. Because the main factor that affects the life and capacity of lithium batteries is the number of times the battery is charged and discharged, this is also the reason why many users feel that the car GPS power is becoming less and less durable.

The correct method of use is: you should wait for the GPS battery to run out or the navigator itself to give a low battery reminder and then connect the car charger to charge it. If your car GPS is connected to the car charger for a long time, it is best to perform a full charge and discharge once a month, that is, run out of battery power and perform a full charge, which can protect the lithium battery to the greatest extent and extend its service life.

For the GPS products that users have just purchased, the power consumption is generally only about 50% or even lower. When the battery is used for the first time, it is necessary to discharge the remaining power in the battery, and then recharge it with an external charger, and the first charging is preferably more than 15 hours, and the charging time is best when the battery is exhausted after the second and third use It should be more than 12 hours, but it should be noted that charging should not exceed 24 hours, otherwise excessive battery energy will cause the internal electrolyte to decompose and cause the internal voltage of the battery to rise and cause natural or explosive phenomena.

In addition, for GPS that has not been used for a long time, the lithium battery will automatically discharge. It is best to fully charge the battery before using it next time to avoid damage to the battery caused by over-discharge. In the process of using GPS, try not to expose the body to the sun or damp environment. The harsh external environment will cause the unstable discharge of the lithium battery.
