A catalogue battery-life estimate may depend on a particular device and usage assumptions. Verify those assumptions against your settings and site conditions.
Request the estimate conditions
| Input | What to ask the supplier |
|---|---|
| Model/battery | Device code and battery type |
| Measurement | Interval and sensor use |
| Transmission | Frequency, network and signal conditions |
Record settings at commissioning
Enter device ID, battery level, measurement and transmission settings on the installation form.
Confirm a suitable record interval with the responsible team.
Monitor field behaviour. Keep last successful data time and low-battery alerts visible on the monitoring dashboard.
When a device goes silent, separate battery, connection and setting causes in the service record.
Link replaced battery and device and log the event date.
Plan replacement and spares
Do not treat estimated life as a guarantee; use actual replacement dates and supply lead time.
Set spare quantity from your own fault and supply history, not device count alone.
Verify spare battery fit for the device model in manufacturer documentation.
Test any need for more frequent reporting
Set measurement and transmission separately; after a change, monitor connection and battery alerts.
Have an authorized person set alarms for product monitoring needs and local procedure.
Compare procurement offers
Request separate lines for device, battery replacement, connectivity service and maintenance.
Check warranty or service scope in model and contract documents.
