The Application of Lithium-Polymer Battery in Pet Trackers

With the booming pet economy, smart pet trackers have become an essential for pet-owning families. The stable operation of their core functions 

relies heavily on battery technology. Lithium-polymer battery (LiPo), leveraging advantages such as flexible design, high energy efficiency, and 

wide temperature adaptability, has replaced traditional batteries as the preferred power source, providing core support for the miniaturization, long 

battery life, and multi-scenario adaptation of devices.

I. Flexible Design Breaks Form Limitations, Adapting to Diverse Tracker Scenarios

Pet trackers come in various forms, from ultra-small cat collars to outdoor positioning devices for large dogs. They have strict requirements for 

battery size and shape adaptability. Lithium-polymer battery, adopting soft-pack packaging and polymer electrolytes, breaks the constraints of 

traditional rigid batteries and is key to achieving lightweight and miniaturized trackers.

In the field of ultra-small trackers, lithium-polymer battery can be extremely thin and light. For example, the 352728 model battery from A&S 

Power (3.5mm thick, 4.5g weight, 240mAh capacity) can be embedded in micro GPS tags for small pets. It fits the curved shape of collars to 

achieve "invisible wearing" and reduce pet resistance.

II. High Energy Efficiency and Strong Adaptability, Ensuring Core Positioning Functions

Continuous and stable positioning is the core requirement of pet trackers, and the energy efficiency and environmental adaptability of 

lithium-polymer battery perfectly meet this demand.

It has a high energy density and low self-discharge rate, which can effectively extend the tracker's battery life and reduce charging frequency. 

For instance, the battery from A&S Power can stably support positioning, geofencing and other functions; it can last for 10 days in daily mode 

and maintain 12 hours of power supply in emergency high-frequency positioning.

At the same time, it has strong instantaneous discharge capacity to cope with power consumption peaks during positioning and alarming; it can 

discharge normally at -20℃, making it suitable for outdoor use in cold areas.

III. Multi-Layered Safety Protection System, Fortifying the Bottom Line for Pet Use

Since trackers are in direct contact with pets' skin, battery safety is crucial. Lithium-polymer battery builds a comprehensive protection system 

through material and structural optimization as well as safety certifications, eliminating risks such as leakage and swelling.

At the cell level, mainstream products are equipped with dual IC and PCB protection boards to achieve four-fold protection, and vacuum 

lamination packaging enhances sealing. The A&S Power battery shows no abnormalities after 1-meter drop tests, capable of withstanding 

accidents like pet scratching and collision.

High-quality products have passed international certifications such as UN38.3 and ROHS. Some adopt lead-free and cadmium-free 

environmentally friendly materials, which will not harm pets' health even if damaged.

IV. Conclusion

Lithium-polymer battery meets the tracker's needs for "miniaturization, long battery life, full scenarios, and high safety", serving as a key driver 

for the popularization of smart pet care devices. With the continuous improvement of future technologies and customized services, it will further 

break performance boundaries and provide more reliable protection for pets' safety.
