BeWired+ (B4-MIOT-MR BTW) Externally-Powered
BeWired+ is the 4th generation of the BeWired powered (wired) version of BeWhere's low-power 5G asset tracking device family. It comes with a wiring harness to connect to external power and/or external sensors. It has an ignition wire (power sense) option for capturing engine runtime.
The BeWired+ maintains our existing suite of sensors and further incorporates a Wi-Fi feature for location service when indoors. It also includes a Bluetooth transceiver that functions as a BLE Gateway reader, enabling the integration of BLE Beacon Tags and Sensors. Furthermore, the device is housed in a ruggedized enclosure, enhanced to IP69K standards.

Battery Insights
This document describes the product specifications of rechargeable Li-polymer battery used with BeWhere’s BeSol+ asset tracker.
Characteristics
| Item | Spec | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal Capacity | 2700mAh@ 0.2 C5A Discharge | Nominal capacity refers to the capacity of 0.2C5A discharge with 3.0V cut-off voltage, application cut-off voltage at 3.5V |
| Cycle Life | ~700 Times | One cycle refer to one charge period and then one discharge period. The cycle life is the cycle times when the discharge capacity is about 70% of the rated capacity. |
| Standard Charge | 0.2C5A | 0.2C5A CC (constant current) charge to Max Charge voltage 4.2V,then CV(constant voltage 4.2V) charge current decline to ≤0.01C. |
| Standard Discharge | 0.2C5A | 0.2C5A CC (constant current discharge to discharge cut-off) |
| Operating Temperature | Charge*: 0 ℃~ +45℃ Discharge**: -20℃~ +60℃ | |
| Over Charge/Discharge Protection | The battery pack has a protective circuit module to prevent over-charge/discharge for safety. |
Notes
- *Recharging circuit has charge-protection above 45℃ for safety compliance and recharge current declines
when below freezing point.
- **Based on bench test/field test data and device has performed outside specifications
up to -35 ℃ without reducing operating performance
