How Long Does the WHISTLE™ Health & GPS+ (SWITCH™) Battery Last?

WHISTLE™ Health & GPS+ (SWITCH™) is equipped with swappable batteries, so you never have to worry about downtime while your device is charging!

Average life per battery will depend on a number of factors, including how much time your pet spends at home and connected to your WiFi network, and how strong the AT&T cellular coverage is in your area. 

Ways to improve battery life:

1. Set up additional Safe Places. Adding additional Places with Wi-Fi networks where your pet spends time will greatly improve battery life (as noted above: when in range of Wi-Fi the Whistle device will go into battery-save mode). If you travel, you can set up Places on the go to conserve battery. 

2. Only use "Find My Pet" when they are lost. We recommend relying on our "Trips" feature to keep tabs of where you pet has been and only utilize the "Find My Pet" and "Update Location" features when you need to find your pet(s).

3. Wi-Fi extenders. For pets who live on large properties with limited Wi-Fi range, we recommend adding Wi-Fi extenders so that your coverage can extend to areas where your pet spends a lot of time (for example, large yards).
