User Tip: A Word about Sensor Charging and Battery Care

User Tip: A Word about Sensor Charging and Battery Care

By Equinosis Logo Equinosis Staff | Updated on | Equinosis Staff, Equipment, Locked, Sensor Guidance, User Tip

Many customers ask about sensor life, routine charging, and what to expect as the sensors age.  Equinosis sensors are made with Lithium Polymer batteries currently manufactured by PowerStream. Lithium Polymer is a higher quality subset of a broader class of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. The component used has a specified life of 500 cycles - where after 500 cycles, greater than 70% of initial capacity is retained during laboratory testing conditions. However, in the field, “cycle” is an elusive term as it depends on several factors. And 500 is even more elusive as that is a lower specification limit.  So, the average...

If you ever have trouble connecting to your sensors or experience sensor lag (sensors plotting asynchronously across the screen) as horse gets farther away, the following is a quick check list to run through for possible reasons.  For more in-depth troubleshooting, click HERE to view the complete Bluetooth® Sensor troubleshooting guide. Check that your sensors are sufficiently charged and turned on. If you have more than one set of sensors in your system, make sure you are attempting to connect to the correct set. If any sensor is a new replacement, the sensor must be programmed into the system (contact...
