Abstract
Systems and methods for improving device locatability are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining a beacon mode capacity of a device battery, the beacon mode capacity corresponding to a device operating in a beacon mode while powered by the device battery. The example method further includes calculating a total battery power of the device battery and an aged total battery power of the device battery based on the total battery power and a state of health (SOH) of the device battery. The example method further includes determining a beacon state of charge (SOC) threshold for the device battery based on the beacon mode capacity and the aged total battery power, and causing the device to begin operating in the beacon mode when a remaining charge of the device battery is less than the beacon SOC threshold.
