![]() ![]() So all these possibilities are worth excluding before deciding that the supercap is at fault – the first troubleshooting step for supercap-like symptoms is always to fit a new battery and to check whether the solar panel is definitely plugged in. (NB A supercap fault is not the only cause of short battery life, which can also happen as a result of a simple defective battery or forgetting to reconnect the plug from the solar panel when the SIM compartment cover has been removed or, simply, poor exposure of the solar panel. Accompanying symptoms can also include loss of wireless reception overnight only or, occasionally, complete loss of reception even with a new battery fitted. This can be as short as a few days but can also range up to several months, especially in the early stages of this fault, but well short of the typical transmitter battery life of 18 months or so. The supercap fault/issue is a transmitter fault, primarily found on older VP2 systems (but see VP1 note below), whose commonest symptom is poor ISS/transmitter battery life.
