Estimate Battery Life for UWB Tags and GPS Trackers Before You Deploy
Choosing the right update rate, scan frequency, and movement configuration has a direct impact on the battery life of your UWB tags and GPS trackers. This battery life calculator helps you estimate how long your Pozyx UWB tags and Digital Matter GPS tracking devices are expected to operate under different configurations.
By adjusting tracking intervals, movement-based updates, and optional BLE scanning, you can immediately see how configuration decisions affect power consumption. This helps you balance tracking accuracy with battery lifetime and maintenance planning.
Supported devices include:
- Pozyx UWB Wearable Tag
- Pozyx UWB Interactive Tag
- Pozyx UWB Industrial Tag
- Digital Matter Barra GPS
- Digital Matter Barra Edge
- Digital Matter Manta Fusion
- Digital Matter Remora3
Whether you are planning an indoor UWB RTLS deployment or an outdoor GPS asset tracking project, this tool provides a practical starting point for estimating device lifetime.
Important Disclaimer About Battery Life Estimates
The results generated by this calculator are estimates for planning purposes only. Actual battery life depends heavily on real-world operating conditions that are not fully modeled in this tool.
External factors that significantly influence battery performance include:
- Operating temperature, especially in cold environments
- Cellular network strength and transmission retries
- GNSS time to first fix and satellite visibility
- Battery aging and chemistry variation
- Firmware versions and configuration changes
- Mounting conditions and environmental interference
Low temperatures can significantly reduce usable battery capacity. Poor cellular coverage can increase transmission time and energy usage. Frequent GNSS reacquisition may reduce battery life compared to controlled test conditions.
Because of these variables, we recommend validating battery expectations with a field test before large-scale rollout.
