Battery capacity
Capacity of the accumulator or a complete battery (batteries) installed in the tracker.
Theoretically, the higher the capacity, the longer the
battery life, however, in fact, note that different models may also differ in actual power consumption. So, only devices with a significant difference in battery capacity can be unambiguously compared to each other — for example, 500 mAh and 1000 mAh. And it is worth evaluating the actual battery life not by the battery capacity, but by the operating time directly indicated by the manufacturer in the specifications.
Standby operation
Approximate time during which a battery-powered tracker can operate in standby mode. The parameter is expressed in the number of days of battery life. Models with a long runtime from the built-in power supply are well suited for vehicles that do not move much (for example, boats stored without a battery for the winter).
Dust-, waterproof
The degree
of protection against dust and moisture provided in the tracker. Traditionally denoted by two digits according to the IP standard, where the first digit indicates protection against dust and foreign objects, the second — against liquids. Detailed decoding of numbers can be found in special tables, but here we note that the larger the number, the higher the level of protection. The maximum rating found in trackers is IP68, full dust tightness and the ability to dive under water to a depth of at least 1 m.
It makes sense to pay attention to this indicator, first of all, if the tracker is planned to be used outside the passenger compartment of a car — for example, in an open body, or on motor vehicles.
