4G GPS Tracker.Is the power consumption of car GPS locators high

　　Car GPS locators are divided into two types: those with built-in batteries and those that require wiring. GPS locators with wiring can be used for real-time positioning, keeping track of vehicle positions, viewing historical trajectories, publishing various driving reports, etc. They are widely used in many industries such as government vehicle management, private car anti-theft, and loan car tracking. Many car owners or drivers have the question of how much power consumption is caused by installing a car GPS locator on the vehicle battery, and will it affect the service life of the vehicle battery?

　　Generally speaking, wiring type GPS locators, due to the need to connect to the vehicle battery for operation, will inevitably cause battery power loss. Old style GPS locators, due to the lack of intelligent working function, constantly locate and transmit, consume relatively high power.

　　However, most of the new GPS locators currently consume relatively less power, and some even have intelligent working functions. When the vehicle stops, the device enters standby mode. At this time, it does not communicate with the satellite to search for satellite positioning, only sends heartbeat packet data to ensure that GPS is online for a long period of time. This deep standby mode has a power consumption lower than the self discharge of the car battery, which can be ignored, so it has no impact on the car battery. When the vehicle catches fire, the motion sensor of the device will detect vehicle vibration, and the GPS locator will enter the working state to communicate with the satellite in real-time, without affecting the effectiveness of GPS use.

　　So, the electricity consumption of car GPS locators depends on the power consumption and functionality of the locators. Generally speaking, it will not affect the service life of the car battery, and car owners can use it with confidence.
