Teltonika FMC234 — IP67 Waterproof 4G LTE Cat 1 Tracker with 8-Day Battery and Click-Type Housing

The Teltonika FMC234 is the most powerful waterproof 4G tracker in Teltonika's advanced range — a rugged IP67 device that combines the future-proof 4G LTE Cat 1 connectivity of the FMC230 with a massive 1,000mAh Li-Po backup battery providing up to 8 days of standalone operation. It is the definitive choice for trailer tracking, marine vessel monitoring, stolen vehicle recovery and any harsh environment application where the tracker must continue reporting even when main vehicle power is disconnected for extended periods.

Its innovative click-type housing is a standout practical feature — the SIM card can be accessed and replaced without any tools, making field maintenance significantly faster and easier than standard screw-sealed waterproof devices. IP67 certified against dust and temporary water immersion, the FMC234 handles marine salt spray, pressure washing on construction sites, mud in agricultural environments and extreme weather with equal reliability — earning it a reputation as the tank of Teltonika's tracker range.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FMC234 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

FMC234 vs FMC230 — Which Should You Choose?

Both the FMC234 and FMC230 are IP67 waterproof 4G LTE Cat 1 trackers with flexible inputs and Bluetooth. The critical difference is the backup battery — the FMC234's 1,000mAh Li-Po battery provides up to 8 days standalone operation versus the FMC230's 170mAh battery. The FMC234 also features the innovative click-type housing for tool-free SIM access. Choose the FMC234 for trailer tracking, marine applications, stolen vehicle recovery and any scenario requiring extended standalone battery life. Choose the FMC230 if you need three simultaneous DOUT scenarios, negative input and maximum I/O flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the FMC234 battery last without external power?

The FMC234's 1,000mAh Li-Po battery provides up to 8 days of standalone operation without external power — making it one of the longest-lasting waterproof 4G trackers in Teltonika's range and the ideal choice for trailer tracking and applications where vehicles are regularly disconnected from power.

What is the click-type housing and why does it matter?

The click-type housing uses a tool-free click closure instead of screws, allowing the SIM card to be accessed and replaced in the field without any tools. This significantly reduces maintenance time and is particularly valuable for large fleet deployments where field SIM replacement is required.

What is the difference between the FMC234 and the FMC230?

Both are IP67 waterproof 4G LTE Cat 1 trackers. The FMC234 has a significantly larger 1,000mAh battery for up to 8 days standalone operation and a click-type housing. The FMC230 has three simultaneous DOUT outputs and negative input for more complex sensor installations. Choose FMC234 for extended battery life — choose FMC230 for maximum I/O flexibility.

Is the FMC234 suitable for marine and boat tracking?

Yes — the IP67 waterproof enclosure, marine-grade protection against saltwater, Bluetooth bilge sensor support and 8-day standalone battery make the FMC234 an excellent choice for boats, yachts and jet skis. It continues tracking even when the marine battery is disconnected for maintenance.
