Battery options for MetaTracker

Is there an alternative to the CR2450 battery for the MetaTracker? It says on the website the typical battery life is 4 weeks, which is not very ideal, and looking for a longer lasting alternatives. Thanks!

    Where on the website did you see "4 weeks"?

    The CR2450 can last you months depending on the use case.

    Ah ok, I was looking at the MetaTracker page. 

    Well, how long do you need the board to run on a single battery?  As stated in my previous post, actual battery life depends on what features / sensors you are using and how frequently you are sampling data.

    I think we want to pretty much the longest life possible. We are even considering wired solutions, just for the sake setting it and forgetting it.

    You will probably need some customizations then if you indeed want a bigger battery or a wired solution.  However, that seems like a waste of money when you can get months of use on 1 CR2450.

    If you still want to pursue this path, contact Mbientlab directly and they can provide you with a quote.
