How long does a motorcycle GPS tracker battery last?

It depends on the type of tracker and how often it reports its position — here are the honest numbers:

• Hardwired trackers: run off your bike's battery, so they last indefinitely — but they draw a small current constantly and require installation into your wiring.
• Rechargeable battery trackers: typically 2 to 8 weeks between charges, depending on settings. Fine if you'll remember to charge them; a liability if you won't.
• Replaceable-battery trackers with smart power management: around 9 to 12 months per battery. These sleep most of the time and wake for scheduled check-ins or when their motion sensor detects movement, which is what stretches the life so far.

The single biggest factor is reporting frequency. A tracker pinging its location every 30 seconds burns through power fast; one that checks in a few times a day and only goes into live-tracking mode when the bike actually moves can run for the better part of a year.

Our advice: match the tracker to your habits. If you'd forget to recharge a device every month — most of us would — a long-life replaceable battery is the safer bet. The Stealth tracker we carry takes this approach: swap a standard battery roughly once a year and it's always on duty.
