Hello
I am experimenting with various microcontroller boards to acquire data from the DWM1001 dev and successful in doing so. However , when I tried deploying this solution for the longer periods , I couldn’t choose a correct battery. My requirements are as below.
- Battery life should be upto 3 months.
- My setup consumes a maximum of 100mA when in operation and stays active for 30 seconds every hour. Rest of the time it is in sleep mode.
- In sleep mode consumes up to 1.5mA
On paper, a 5000mAh battery is giving me a life of 81 days with this mode of operation.
However , I know in practice it will not be this easy. Battery chemistry starts coming into picture. Batteries have self discharge rating .
Keeping all these in mind , can anyone suggest me a good battery ? Operating voltage is 2.4 - 4.2 volts.
Regards
