Battery Overview

OcuTrap devices are powered by rechargeable KBT lithium batteries, designed for long-lasting operation in the field.

Current Models

• KBT 5000 mAh (12V)

  • Standard battery included with OcuTrap.

  • Estimated battery life: ~21 days per charge (under normal usage).

  • Charger: 1A (12V)

• KBT 10000 mAh (12V) (Coming Soon)

  • Doubles the runtime compared to the 5000 mAh battery.

  • Charger: 2A (12V)

  • Expected battery life: ~40+ days per charge (under normal usage).

Charging

• Use only the provided KBT charger to ensure safety and proper charging.

• The 5000 mAh battery takes approximately 5–6 hours to fully recharge.

• The 10000 mAh battery will charge in approximately 5–6 hours as well, thanks to its higher 2A charger.

• Always disconnect the charger once fully charged to preserve long-term battery health.

Extending Battery Life

We are actively working on software improvements to increase efficiency and extend battery life. In addition, you can maximize runtime by:

• Ensuring traps are placed in areas with strong cellular (poor signal increases power usage).

• Keeping firmware up to date (updates include battery optimization improvements).

• Using the appropriate battery size for your deployment length (e.g., 10k mAh for longer-term setups).

• Powering down the trap when not in use.

Battery Care & Safety

• Store batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use.

• Avoid exposing batteries to extreme heat or moisture.

• Only use OcuTrap-approved chargers.

• Do not attempt to open, puncture, or modify the battery
