Sensor Life Calculator
Calculate how long your sensor battery will last based on battery capacity, power consumption, and operational parameters. Optimize your sensor deployment for maximum lifespan.
Step 1: Sensor Specifications
Understanding Sensor Power Modes
Sensors typically operate in multiple modes: active (sensing/transmitting), idle, and sleep. Average current consumption accounts for time spent in each mode.
Step 2: Operational Parameters
About Battery Efficiency
Battery efficiency accounts for capacity loss due to temperature, discharge rate, and aging. Higher quality batteries and optimal operating conditions yield better efficiency.

Lifespan Formula
Lifespan (hours) = (Battery Capacity × Efficiency) / Average Current
To calculate sensor lifespan: Multiply battery capacity by efficiency (as decimal), then divide by average current consumption. Convert hours to days/years as needed.
