Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about parkzeit, installation, battery life, and everyday use.

My parkzeit enduro was delivered without 3M covers. What should I do?

If your parkzeit arrived with missing 3M covers, this unfortunately happened during transport. Please send your delivery details to info@parkzeit.com, and we will immediately send you a new device free of charge.

My parkzeit beeps every time I start driving. What does this mean?

This is the device’s low battery indicator. It means that the battery needs to be replaced.

How can parkzeit run for up to 4 years on just one AA battery?

parkzeit uses approximately 500 mAh per year, based on around 40 minutes of driving time per day. If you use a lithium AA battery with a capacity of 3500 mAh, the device can operate for up to 7 years under these conditions. We state a battery life of up to 4 years because some versions are supplied with a 2100 mAh battery, which provides a usage time of approximately 4 years.

Why does parkzeit not use an additional battery, or 2 AAA batteries or button cells instead?

One AA battery provides more capacity than 2 AAA batteries while also making battery replacement simple, cost-effective, and convenient anywhere. A button cell typically has around 600 mAh capacity, while an AAA battery has around 1000 mAh. This means that an AA battery offers approximately 3 to 4 times the capacity of a button cell and about twice the capacity of an AAA battery. If we had used additional AA batteries, the device would have become too large and heavy for the 3M adhesive pads. Our goal was to create the best possible balance between size, weight, battery life, and ease of use.

Do I need to remove the device to manually set the time or change the battery?

No. The front holder remains attached to the windshield, while the device itself can easily be slid out of the holder. This makes it convenient to change the battery and set night parking or manual parking. You do not need to work on a permanently mounted device, but can comfortably hold it in your hand.

Why is the device not supplied with a complete printed user manual?

The most important instructions are already printed on the inside of the packaging. At the same time, we have deliberately focused on keeping the environmental impact from additional printed materials as low as possible. In addition, there is a QR code printed inside the device itself, which cannot be lost. If you need help, you can simply scan the code with your smartphone and open the instructions immediately.

Do I need to keep an eye on the battery level to know when the battery needs to be changed?

No. Although the device has a battery level indicator, it is primarily for information. When the battery level becomes low, parkzeit enduro emits a beep every time the device exits parking mode. This gives you a timely warning when you start driving, usually around 4 to 5 months before the battery needs to be replaced.
