Dear All,
I’m using the TAT100 hardware version 31 for some fun project.
Since the required batteries are a bit hard to obtain I have modified it to use two 14500 3.7 batteries using a cheap plastic battery holder. The question is, is it safe to run TAT100 on 10.8 Volts, as three 14500 size LiSOCl2 batteries would also fit the enclosure?
Thank you!

Note: If you want to install a bigger battery for TAT100 kindly contact your sales directly or your local support so that they can provide you a hands-on support for your project, if hardware changes are needed you need to contact us directly.

Hello,
Thank you for prompt reply. As I mentioned, I already did the battery modification, please see the attached photos. Everything works great. I’m using the modified TAT100 to track my horse, and I would definitely benefit from longer battery life. Somewhere on the teltonika web pages there was a mention of TAT100 with the 3 cell battery, so my only question is if the hardware I own will be safe to power by 10.8 V, or the 3 cell TAT100 is a different HW version.
Have a great day!
Hello,
As per our datasheet, we do recommend using only 7.2V battery .
If you use more than 7.2 V it can be dangerous for the device.

OK, I will stick to two cells only. Thank you very much!
Have a great weekend!
