Battery shelf life:
Before first usage: Period from device delivery to customer (on stock), to first start of the device. Within the battery shelf life periode, the device battery run time is ensured according to the technical specification, if stored within the specified storage temperature (device off).
After first usage (in case of re-use): Period from device charge to start of the device.
If battery shelf life has been exceeded, the device cannot be started to avoid early depletion of the battery during your shipment.
| Battery expiry | SmartMonitor SHIP M: once the battery shelf life has been exceeded, the battery expired. The battery expiry date is printed on the front of the device. If the battery is expired, the device cannot be started. The devices can be returned to Berlinger for recycling and refurbishment. |
| Battery recharge | SmartMonitor SHIP L/SITE L: once the battery shelf life has been exceeded, the battery expired and the device needs to be recharged to ensure battery run time according to technical specification. |
Battery run time:
Time between start of the device until depletion of the battery without charging. Shipment devices cannot be charged while monitoring.
Actual run time depends on environmental factors, such as temperature, quality of connectivity, communication technologies and locations services used.
A comparison from the consumer environment:
Impact of temperature: if a mobile phone is exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, it drains the battery quickly. Berlinger therefore recommends the usage of a SmartSensor for minus temperature ranges to ensure optimal battery run and device lifetime.
Impact of quality of connectivity: if a mobile phone is in an area of bad connectivity, where it continuously is looking for a network, the battery is drained quickly.
Impact of communication technologies used: if a mobile phone is connecting to a 2G network, due to unavailability of e.g., 4G network, the battery is drained quicker than with more efficient technologies such as 4G, 5G.
Impact of location services: if the location service on a Smart watch is turned on, the battery of the watch is drained much more quickly than if location is turned off.
Examples of battery shelf life and battery run time
Battery shelf life and battery run time of a SHIP L
The device start is within the battery shelf life:
The device start is not within the battery shelf life:
If the device is not started within battery shelf life, recharge is required to ensure battery performance according to technical specification.
Device cannot be started if battery shelf life has been exceeded, to avoid early depletion of the battery during your shipment.
Battery shelf life and battery run time of a SITE L
The device start is within the battery shelf life:
The device start is not within the battery shelf life:
If the device is not started within battery shelf life, recharge is required to ensure battery performance according to technical specification.
Device cannot be started if battery shelf life has been exceeded, to avoid early depletion of the battery during your shipment.
Battery shelf life and battery run time of a SHIP M
The device start is within the battery shelf life:
The device start is not within the battery shelf life:
If the device is not started within battery shelf life, the battery expired. The device can longer be started.
Devices can be returned to Berlinger for recycling and refurbishment.
Please find defined battery shelf life and battery run time per SmartMonitor device model in the technical specification.
