Quick answers

FMB204 vs FMB920: when do I pick which?

FMB920 (IP41) is the compact under-dash car install with a small backup cell. FMB204 (IP67) is the sealed, big-battery unit for two-wheelers, trailers, and exposed assets that run for stretches without wired power. Same Teltonika protocol, different housing and battery.

How long does the FMB204 run on its own battery?

Its 1,800 mAh Li-ion is sized for prolonged autonomous use: at a slow reporting interval it lasts days between charges, which is the point on a trailer or parked asset with no permanent power. Frequent live tracking drains it faster.

Is the FMB204 still sold?

It reached end-of-life at Teltonika, so new stock is thinning. It stays a fine choice where you already own units or can source them, and Traxelio decodes it exactly like the rest of the FMB line. For a fresh fleet rollout, pick a current FMB or FMC model instead.

Does the FMB204 suit Senegalese conditions?

Yes for exposed installs: the IP67 case shrugs off dust and rain, and 2G covers it across Senegal. It uses internal antennas, so mount it with a clear view of the sky rather than inside a metal box, and it holds a GNSS fix.

Overview

About the FMB204

Teltonika FMB204 is an IP67 water-resistant 2G GPS tracker with a large 1,800 mAh internal battery, built for prolonged autonomous tracking of two-wheelers, trailers, and exposed outdoor assets. It reports over the Teltonika protocol that Traxelio decodes directly. A mature, end-of-life device still worth running where a sealed, long-battery-life tracker is the point.

Common issues

Cable gland or seal degrades after long outdoor exposure

IP67 is rated at install time · gaskets and glands age under UV and salt air. Inspect the seal yearly and re-seal with marine-grade silicone if it cracks, especially on coastal mounts.

GNSS fix is slow or drops inside a metal enclosure

The FMB204 relies on internal high-gain antennas, so a metal box blocks them. Mount it with the labelled face toward open sky, or move it out of the enclosure entirely · there is no external antenna socket to fall back on.
