old burner cell phone that has GPS on it to hookup to sites online to track positions of the phone.
If by "sites online" you mean "send a text" sure. But that kind of data & gps usage will kill a normal dumbphone battery within a few hours.
These devices use a battery 1/4 to 1/3rd the life of a smartphone's and they use GPS chips or SOCs with integrated GPS that suck power much more quickly that the high-end SOCs you find in iPhones and decent Android devices. They do not have long battery life. Try it. I have.
There is quite a few tutorials online that explain how to to do it for your car
And these tutorials almost always hook the phone up to 12V power. Relying on a dumbphone battery just isn't worth it.
