The expected battery life of a Tinytag data logger varies between models. It can also be affected by other factors, such as the frequency of the logging interval. This article will help you find out how long your data logger's battery should last for.
Tinytag Plus and Ultra Radio data loggers have a typical 12-month battery life and can be mains powered if required.
Tinytag Plus LAN data loggers are Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices and are supplied with the injector that powers them.
If power to the logger is disrupted, it has back-up batteries that will keep the unit recording for up to a year.
The Tinytag Energy data logger can be powered from the mains or from batteries in the logger.
If monitoring mains voltage, the logger will be powered from the mains. If the power supply fails, the logger will switch over to battery-power.
