Battery life calculator

This calculator is designed for TOPFLYtech customers and project evaluation.

If you are evaluating GPS tracking solutions, this tool helps estimate battery performance based on real deployment scenarios.

Estimate how long your GPS tracker or asset device can operate under a realistic reporting setup.

This battery life calculator is best used as a planning tool for early evaluation — not as a guarantee. Real-world battery life depends on reporting frequency, movement events, network conditions, installation quality, and environment.

Note: The calculator uses an average figure from the battery consumption range of the respective TOPFLYtech devices.

What affects battery life in real deployments

 
  1. Environment temperature

    1. The battery life result is based on an environment temperature of 25℃(77℉).

    2. The battery capacity is greatly affected by temperature, lower the temperature, smaller the battery capacity.

  2. Signal strength

    1. When the device is in low network coverage area, it may take longer period or more times to establish the network connection. This may cause additional power consumption.

    2. When the device is in low GPS signal area, it may take longer period to catch the satellites. This may cause additional power consumption.

    3. The battery life result is under condition that the device takes 80 seconds to complete the boot up, positioning, registering to network then successfully sending the message.

     *The provided battery life is tested under static conditions with a stable network and GPS signal. However, if the device is in motion, undergoing network switches, and encountering suboptimal GPS signals, the actual battery life may be shorter than the calculated estimate.
