Locating Battery Status

If a Logger reports a battery as ‘OK’ when generating a report, there is typically enough operational life left to complete a trip before being completely exhausted.

If, however, a product shows ‘LOW’ when being configured or downloaded, it should not be used again, but discarded in accordance with local regulations.

Symptoms of a Low LogTag Battery

If you experience one of the following, this could be due to a low battery:

Important: These are not always battery related!

  • Downloading data isn’t possible
  • Software freezes during download

If you continue to use the Logger despite a low battery warning, there may not be enough power left to correctly record and store data, or to communicate with a PC.

Often this leads to data corruption and sometimes complete data loss.
