Primary Batteries: The Reliable Power Source for Our GPS Tracking Devices

Our business depends mainly on primary batteries, the mainstay of the most of most of our GPS tracking devices at our company. Non-rechargeable in design, but reliable and performance-orientated, this ensures our products endure the tough conditions our there in wildlife research. We’ve used the same manufacturer-one of the best it its class-for 28 years, as we put a higher emphasis on quality instead of costs. While there are plenty of cheaper alternatives on the market, we understand that our GPS devices’ performance is only as good as the batteries we are using inside them. By spending a little more on high-quality primary batteries, we ensure consistent operation, essential for accurate data collection in the field.

Although primary batteries may be heavier than their rechargeable counterparts, they offer significantly higher energy density, starting at 9 grams, making them ideal for prolonged usage in the wild. Furthermore, they are engineered to function in extreme temperatures, producing current down to -40 degrees Celsius, which is vital for tracking animals in the coldest climates. Our main batteries have a robust metal casing for added durability, allowing collars to come back for repairs after long periods in the field, often still operational. That’s assurance that you will have our products performing well is the vagaries of wildlife tracking without compromise. We invite you to discuss your power options during our consultation so you can select the best solution for your specific needs.
