GPS tracker battery : how long does it really last ?
One of the most important factors when choosing a GPS tracker for a motorcycle or car is its battery life. An effective GPS tracker against the vehicle theft should not run out of battery at the wrong moment.However, depending on the model, battery life can vary greatly : from just a few days to several months, or even unlimited if the tracker is connected to the vehicle’s power supply.
So, how long does a GPS tracker battery really last ? Which models are the most efficient on the market ? And why does the ZEN L by Beepings stand out as a benchmark ?
The importance of battery life for a GPS tracker
A GPS tracker for a car or motorcycle must be discreet,
reliable and always operational. However, if the battery is too weak :
the tracker may turn off during a theft,
geolocation becomes useless if the vehicle is moved and the tracker can’t transmit its position.,
the owner must constantly remember to recharge, making the device cumbersome.
👉 Battery life is therefore a crucial factor : he longer it lasts, the better the security of your vehicle.
What is the battery life of GPS trackers on the market ?
GPS trackers with limited battery life
Some GPS trackers, such as Invoxia GPS trackers, offer limited battery life. Depending on usage, the battery can last between 4 to 6 months at most, which requires regular recharging. For a motorcyclist or car owner, this can quickly become inconvenient.
GPS trackers with constant power connection
Other trackers, such as the Georide 3 or Flashbird by Pegase, need to be directly connected to the vehicle’s battery to function.
Advantage : theoretically unlimited battery life.
Disadvantage : more complex installation, requiring a connection to the electrical system. This also makes the tracker easier to detect by experienced thieves and can impact your vehicle’s battery (draining, wear, etc…).
GPS trackers with long battery life : the case of the ZEN L by Beepings
The ZEN L stands out for its flexibility :
In daily use, it offers a battery life of 4 months without needing a recharge,
In sleep use, the battery can last up to 1 year,Its major advantage over competitors on the market is that, thanks to its compatible voltage converter, it can be connected to the vehicle’s power supply (after ignition), providing unlimited battery life.
This is a significant advantage over the competition, as the ZEN L can be used either autonomously or in permanent connected mode.

Conclusion : what battery life can you expect from your GPS tracker ?
The battery life is a crucial factor when choosing a GPS tracker for cars or motorcycles.
Some trackers, like Invoxia, require frequent recharges.
Others, such as Georide 3 or Flashbird by Pegase, must be plugged in permanently, which limits flexibility.
Models like Monimoto 7 or TKStar TK905 offer decent autonomy but come with certain constraints (batteries need to be replaced, SIM card management, and higher subscription fees).
The ZEN L by Beepings, however, combines long-lasting battery life (4 months of daily use, 1 year in standby) with unlimited autonomy thanks to its voltage converter.
👉 If you’re looking for reliable, discreet, and autonomous GPS tracker to protect your moto or car against the theft, the ZEN L by Beepings is the most complete and competitive solution on the market.
