1.10 Tag Battery (Functional) Life Span
Wavetrend’s tags typically use a Lithium-Ion battery that the manufacturer states as offering a 10 year shelf
life, rated for. The batteries are more efficient at producing current in hotter temperatures and less efficient in
colder temperatures.
Note about calculating tag life spans: Wavetrend provides all Accredited Partners with an
application which allows the minimum expected life span of a tag to be quite accurately calculated by
entering information about the tag type, the tag configuration (data & options) and expected usage
information (temperatures & amount of movement) that is available.
If you do not have access to the tag life span calculator and want to find out if a tag will provide a sufficient
functional life for your intended use, please ask Wavetrend or one of our Accredited Partners to assist you.
We feel it is better to be conservative than to set expectations that may lead to customer disappointment, but
for the majority of tags sold we would expect the customer to enjoy a potential maximum life span of up to 5
years from a TGP and TGA tag depending very much on how the tag is configured to operate, and the
ambient temperature it will experience throughout its life span. The TGM and TGPS have smaller batteries
and will last a shorter period of time.
