GL300 Battery Percentage Not Updating Even After Full Charge?

Spytec GL300 has been a bestselling personal GPS tracker in the market for quite a while. With its new and updated 2020 avatar the GL300 proves to be an even more powerful and easy to use device bundled with a number of interesting and useful features that make tracking easier than ever before.

Spytec GL300 comes with a new more powerful Li-polymer, 2600 mAh battery which can last between 6 to 25 days depending on usage.

  3. Battery percentage is still low after recharging.
