Introduction
If your Kippy CAT battery is draining faster than expected, a few settings and usage conditions can help reduce consumption. This guide explains the main steps you can take to improve battery life and when it may be time to consider a replacement device.
Signs of higher battery consumption
You may notice faster battery drain if the tracker is updating very frequently, operating in an area with strong mobile network coverage, or using GPS more often than necessary during automatic updates.
How to extend battery life
Open the Kippy app and go to your Kippy CAT device settings.
Reduce the automatic update frequency to XX hours.
Disable GPS during automatic updates if this option is available for your device.
Check whether the tracker is frequently used in a high network coverage area, as this can increase battery consumption.
Save the changes and monitor the battery performance over the next few days.
Additional tips
Keep your Kippy CAT charged according to the recommended charging routine.
Avoid unnecessary live tracking sessions when battery life is a priority.
Make sure the device firmware and app are up to date.
If the problem persists
If battery life does not improve after adjusting the settings, your device may be out of warranty or nearing the end of its expected lifespan. In that case, consider purchasing a new model for the best performance and reliability.
