syncUp Tracker
has anyone have this plugged in to a power bank to extend battery life?
my tmobile version magnet has the 5 pins, I also had the Sprint trackers they never gave me a problem.
It is plugged into an always on usb port in my Jeep and has been for quite some time, I dont even touch it. Every once in a while I go and reboot it maybe every 4-5 week. but it charges just fine.
the trackers can never get to 100 techincally if they are powered on, since they are always consuming power unless sitting absolutely still and uncommunicated with.
even opening ther app to locate them brings them online or movement, or whatever other settings you have elected to enable will bring them online and consume power, if they are connected to a cable they will charge as far as I know. Mine have never gone dead.
in a nutshell. the way I believe them to be working…..the device charges to 100, then sits idle, then it gets a signal to come online, then it detects the charger and recharges. rinse/repeat
