Question

FMB204 - I need to find out how long the internal battery will last on a trailer without power from the vehicle. How many times will it send a data packet (ping) just running on its own battery?

Thanks

Hello

It is a very individual matter

As there are many factors that influence the running time of the device

You can extend the battery life of the device by reducing the data transmission frequency

In parallel, you can use the device's sleep modes

Would recommend using Deep Sleep mode

Deep Sleep: average 3.9 mA;

we can then simulate the working time

Please read these guidelines and adapt to your individual needs, because a lot depends on the operating mode in which the device will be located and for how long.
