How do I replace the batteries in my LOCI asset tracker?

Open the back cover, replace with 3 new Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries, and reseal — this also resets the ping schedule.

LOCI Asset Tracker batteries run on 3 standard Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries, available from most hardware or battery retailers. Replace them by opening the back cover, swapping the batteries, and resealing it.

Also known as / customers also ask: LOCI battery replacement, change asset tracker batteries, low battery LOCI, tracker battery type, battery critical alert

What you need before you start

  • 3 new Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries.
  • A small Philips head screwdriver.
  • A small non-metal prying tool (optional).

How do I replace the batteries in my LOCI asset tracker?

  1. Unscrew the six screws on the back cover of the device.
  2. Remove the old batteries with a non-metal prying tool or your fingers, leave them out for 10 seconds, then insert the 3 new AA batteries. A red light flashes on the circuit board for a few minutes, confirming the batteries are working and the device is reconnecting to the network. This also resets the ping schedule — the tracker pings 3 times a day at 8-hour intervals from the moment you insert the new batteries.
  3. Replace the back cover and tighten all six screws to maintain the device's IP67 waterproof rating.

How do I know it worked?

Check battery life in either of two ways: through notifications — go to Settings > Notifications to be alerted when a battery is critical or needs replacing — or in My Assets, where battery life shows in the bottom right corner of the asset's card when viewing in medium icon view.

What if it doesn't work?

  • No red light after inserting new batteries: check they're the correct type and seated correctly, then try again.
  • Not seeing a battery-life indicator in My Assets: confirm you're viewing the page in medium icon view — the first view option.
