Tracker Retrieve Battery Powered – GPS-Free Stolen Asset Recovery

The Tracker Retrieve Battery Powered is a Thatcham Category S7 stolen asset recovery tracker designed for vehicles and assets where connecting a tracker to the vehicle's electrical system isn't practical.

With its own built-in power source, the Battery Powered Retrieve does not need to be wired into the asset's main electrical system. This makes it particularly suitable for non-powered and infrequently used assets, helping avoid unnecessary battery drain when an asset is left unused for extended periods.

Using Tracker's patented VHF technology, the system is designed to help locate stolen assets even when they are concealed inside locations such as metal containers, lock-ups or underground car parks. Tracker states that the technology can also operate where conventional GPS/GSM tracking may be disrupted by signal jamming.

Thatcham Category S7 Tracker

Tracker Retrieve Battery Powered is a Thatcham Category S7 accredited product, providing an established stolen vehicle and asset recovery solution.

Category S7 trackers cover a range of tracking and recovery solutions, from straightforward tracking to systems incorporating additional security technologies.

If your insurer requires a specific Thatcham category, always check your individual insurance policy before choosing a tracking system.

Self-Powered Tracker – No Vehicle Wiring Required

One of the biggest advantages of the Battery Powered Retrieve is its independent power source.

Unlike a conventional hardwired tracker, the unit does not take power from the vehicle or asset's main battery. This makes it particularly useful for assets that:

• Are not permanently connected to a power supply
• Are used infrequently
• May be stored for long periods
• Have limited or no accessible electrical systems
• Need flexible tracker positioning

Tracker states that the unit can be installed in many different locations, providing flexibility when protecting different types of assets.

Up to 5 Years Standby

The Battery Powered Retrieve has a long battery life of up to five years in standby, making it particularly suited to assets that may spend long periods unused.

Tracker confirms that the internal battery is non-rechargeable and does not draw power from the vehicle's main battery. At the end of its service life, the complete system needs to be replaced.

Patented VHF Tracking Technology

The Battery Powered Retrieve uses military-grade patented Very High Frequency (VHF) technology.

VHF provides an important advantage for stolen asset recovery because Tracker states that the technology can help locate an asset even when it is:

• Inside a metal container
• In a lock-up
• Underground
• Being transported
• In other locations where conventional GPS tracking may be difficult

The VHF technology is also designed to be unaffected by GPS/GSM signal jammers.

UK Police Recovery Network

Tracker states that the Battery Powered Retrieve is operated by all UK police forces.

When an asset is reported stolen, police can use the precision of VHF technology to help locate the asset and support its recovery.

This combination of dedicated VHF technology and Tracker's established recovery network makes the Battery Powered Retrieve particularly suited to assets where reliable stolen recovery is a priority.

Designed for Non-Powered & Infrequently Used Assets

The Battery Powered Retrieve was specifically developed to protect assets without creating a continuous drain on their existing battery.

It can be used across a wide range of vehicles and assets, including:

• Quad bikes
• Horse boxes
• Trailers
• Catering vans
• Classic cars
• Vintage motorcycles
• Motorcycles
• Caravans
• Motorhomes
• Agricultural assets
• Construction assets
• Other suitable non-powered or infrequently used assets

Tracker's current product page lists compatibility across agricultural vehicles, cars, caravans, LCVs, motorhomes and quad bikes, while its wider product information highlights applications including horse boxes, trailers, catering vans, classic cars and vintage motorcycles.

One-Time-Use Stolen Vehicle Recovery System

The Battery Powered Retrieve is different from a conventional reusable tracking system.

It is a one-time-use stolen vehicle recovery product. If Tracker activates the system following a theft, the internal battery is used to transmit tracking information, meaning the unit will need to be replaced following a theft.

Tracker's product information states that remaining subscription time can be transferred when a replacement unit is purchased.
