Hi - I want to install a tracking device on a small trailer without a battery. Does the system have sleep mode &amp; how long will backup battery last ?

Dear sir, Thanks for your questions. Don't worry these questions .Because you just need to access commonly used power. best regards, Rainbow

George, for safety purposes and to prevent any incidents, it is my recommendation to protect the battery and connectors from exposure to elements, animals, and/or persons....It will also maintain the battery secured and safe, since it will be on a trailer, the movement might create another hazard.Hope it answers your concerns.

No, it does not. You just connect a battery. It is not part of a detector network. Also, it is extremely low quality; mine only lasted 6 months. The company expects you to pay shipping and a $10 fee to honor the warranty, which should be illegal. And, by the way Marv, you could put a little more effort into writing a cohesive sentence, couldn't you? You know, one with correct capitalization and punctuation? Sorry, just a peeve of mine I guess.

It does not hibernate or turn off when using it in the tracker mode. I have not used it just as a "find my way back device".

When the tracking feature is enabled (the button is pushed) it will automatically send out a signal every 10 minutes for 24 hours. Then it will stop. You will need to reactivate the track button every 24 hours. Apparently, the batteries will allow you to send out position location for at least four, or more days, depending on temperature.

ac power without a battery backup. I think it was motion sensor and would sometimes go on in dim lighting. I wouldn't buy another, it isn't worth it. Get this one instead. Brighter light, portable as a flash light and has battery back up. Still working great. Durofix RL435 Li-Ion 4V Plug-in Power Outage LED Light, 2-Pack Good Luck

Hi, Kevin - From my personal experience, once the battery dies, the data appears to go into "static" mode, meaning it's retained on the logger until it's outfitted with a new battery and/or the data is downloaded off of it. Please note, though, I have only had this happen with one of my loggers...As Lydia said, the batteries last a *long* time!

That is a good point, but I rarely have a dead battery in my trailer (solar) and I do have a battery alarm when the voltage gets low. And I don't have to worry about changing a battery on the monitor when it goes bad. Good luck with your research.

From SleepBuddy Creator, Laura Swartz: Great question! The internal battery is not the same as a "battery option". It is designed to save the programmed settings for up to 30-min for things like moving the SleepBuddy from room to room, a brief power outage, visit to grandma's house, etc. Initially, our goal was to include a battery option. As a brand new company, even though we wanted to, we honestly couldn't afford to add that feature straight out of the gate. Down the road we're hoping to have a battery option, but for now the cord is working great. The good news is, many families are finding success without using batteries and kids don't know the difference. :) Thank you for your question MissyRae!

Check with Goal Zero on their website. They were really helpful when I had questions. I had 2 battery sucking Garmin GPS/Radios on a month long trek last summer. I love these units and recommend them highly! Cheers

It runs off a separate Battery. You could wire it directly to your vehicle, but as sold, it is designed to run off a battery mounted on the trailer tongue. The leads are only about 3' Long, and made to attach directly to the battery lugs.

If you don't mind that the back light will not be constantly on, you can run this thermostat off of batteries. If you have the wire providing power to the thermostat, you can set the back light to stay on which is very nice at night. The batteries at this point provide backup, but then if there is no power, the fan in the house for the HVAC system wouldn't be working either. It's just there in that case to hold settings including the time and date.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

The first answer was correct. The device itself does not store data. The description talking about tracking data is referring top the device when used with an app. The OP asked if it will store the data when running without a phone or other device, and if it will then transmit the data when connected to the phone later. The answer is no, it will not do this. It is simply a sensor and does not have on-board storage of data for collection at a later time.

It's a wireless device and there's nothing in the box except the Duracell DL123/123A or equivalent battery). The security tech programmed (or "enrolled") it to the existing central system and assigned it a number. That number shows up on the control panel's screen as "9" (for example). The sensor reverts to sleep mode whenever it's not armed, so the battery should last a long time. (specs say 5 years is typical) It was easy/quick to mount in a corner of the room.

If you can add a sensor you can add this to your system. If you dont have the password to do so your monitoring company should have it. This has a plug in wall transformer with back up batteries to power it. It will not run long on the batteries so it needs to go someplace you can plug it in. I mounted above an outlet, poked hole in drywall and ran the cord in the drywall and back out behind the plate over the outlet.
