You would need to work out what extra security equipment you are going to use and then find a battery or batteries that can be hidden within the vehicle and supply that load for upto a few days or possibly a couple of weeks it may also be worth installing a battery monitor that can report the battery status when getting to a critical voltage. A VSR works in a similar way to a split charge setup but is easier to wire
Thanks, I’ve looked in to the prospect of adding a tracker. The FMT100 looks simple and acceptable. On the manufacturers website it offers the information below on consumption. Based on this, if I were to use a small, compact motorcycle 12v battery of say 6Ah, connected via a VSR, does that sound a sensible setup?
Power consumption | At 12V < 1.47 mA (Ultra Deep Sleep) At 12V < 3.21 mA (Deep Sleep) At 12V < 3.75 mA (Online Sleep) At 12V < 5.48 mA (GPS Sleep) At 12V < 24.41 mA (nominal) |
