Primary Batteries: The Reliable Power Source for Our GPS Tracking Devices
Although primary batteries may be heavier than rechargeable batteries, they deliver far better energy density, with a minimum of 9 grams, which is very convenient for long use in the wild. They are also made to function in very low temperatures, producing current as low as -40 degrees Celsius, an important consideration when following game in the coldest conditions. Our primary batteries have a strong metal casing for added strength, so collars come back after months in the field, often still operational. That‘s assurance that you have our products at their best is the uncertainties of wildlife tracking without compromise. We invite you to discuss your power options during our consultation so you can choose the most appropriate solution for your specific needs.
We use primarily primary batteries, the mainstay of most of the majority of our GPS tracking products in our firm. Non-rechargeable by design, but performance-oriented and reliable, this gets our products through the rough terrain out there in wildlife research. We‘ve stuck with the same manufacturer-one of the best in its class-for 28 years, as we put a higher value on quality than on costs. While there are plenty of cheaper alternatives out there, we understand that the reliability of our GPS equipment is only as good as the batteries we‘re going to put in them. By spending a little more on quality primary batteries, we‘ve guaranteed consistent performance, which is indispensable when it comes to gathering accurate data in the field.
