7. FAQs – Pet Tracker Battery Solutions
Q1: How do you ensure the battery doesn't leak if the pet bites the device?
We use multi-layer aluminum-plastic film and high-strength enclosures to resist puncture and leakage.
Q2: Can you provide batteries for very small trackers (cats/birds)?
Yes, we offer micro-pouch cells down to 50mAh for compact, lightweight designs.
Q3: What is the typical development time?
20–30 days for custom samples, depending on complexity and requirements.
Q4: Do your batteries support magnetic charging?
Absolutely. We can integrate magnetic or contact charging pads into the battery pack design.
Q5: Are these batteries certified for international shipping?
Yes, all our batteries are UN38.3 certified and we provide full DG documentation for global logistics.
Client Background
• The client is a pet technology startup developing GPS collars for dogs and cats in the U.S. and European markets, where pet ownership and anti-loss awareness are both very high.
• Their users expect accurate real-time location tracking, geofencing alerts, and app integration, but do not want to charge the collar every day.
• Early prototypes using generic coin cells or low-capacity LiPo batteries suffered from short runtime, especially when pets were active or when tracking intervals were set more frequently.
• Limited collar size and weight made it difficult to increase battery capacity without compromising pet comfort, particularly for smaller breeds.
• The client also needed a rechargeable solution with good cycle life and basic protection features to reduce support issues and improve perceived product quality.
Battery Solution
• Himax Electronics proposed a custom LiPo pack based on a high-energy-density single cell, typically around 3.7 V 600–800 mAh, optimized for slim collar housings.
• The recommended configuration example was a 3.7 V 700 mAh LiPo pack with a compact rectangular footprint, low profile, and flexible leads to fit into curved collar designs.
• An integrated protection circuit module (PCM) provides overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and short circuit protection, helping safeguard the device during daily use and charging.
• Cell selection focused on low self-discharge and stable capacity over many cycles, supporting long-term use in outdoor conditions.
• Himax worked with the client’s engineers on defining connector type, wire length, and mechanical support so that assembly would be simple and strain on the leads minimized during pet movement.
Benefits & Market Feedback
• With the Himax pack, the GPS pet tracker achieved multi-day runtime at common reporting intervals, even when pets were active and frequently moving between indoors and outdoors.
• End users noticed fewer “low battery” alerts and appreciated the balance between small collar size and practical battery life, especially for smaller pets.
• The client reported a reduction in returns and support tickets related to power and runtime concerns, and used the improved battery performance as a selling point in their marketing.
• Retail and online channel partners highlighted longer battery life and rechargeable convenience as key reasons for positive customer reviews and repeat orders.
