Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for adjusting a wake interval in a telematics device having a charge sensor. The telematics device cyclically provides full power from a power supply during a wake duration, and limited power from the power supply during the wake interval. A charge level for a battery of the power supply is determined using the charge sensor. The wake interval is adjusted based on the charge level.

14. A system for adjusting a wake interval in a telematics device, comprising:
-
a power supply configured to provide power to a location device and a communications system; a controller operably coupled to the location device, to the communications system, to the power supply, and to a charge sensor adapted to provide charge level information to the controller for a battery of the power supply; wherein the controller is configured to permit the power supply to provide full power to the location device and the communications system during a wake duration, and not to permit the power supply to provide full power to the location device and the communications system during the wake interval; and wherein the controller is adapted to adjust the wake interval responsively to the charge level information. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
