Smart Charging

Your MRT-2275 utilizes smart charging to optimize battery life:

  • Vehicle Ignition Off (Power Saving Mode): Minimizes battery consumption by reporting once a day.
  • Vehicle Ignition On (Backup Battery Charging Mode): Focuses on charging the internal battery for reliable power when needed.
  • Low Battery Protection: If the battery drops below 30% (even with ignition off), the device charges to prevent depletion.

Important Note: While smart charging helps, extended vehicle inactivity can still drain the battery. Regularly use and charge your motorcycle to maintain battery health.
