How long will the battery last in a FlexPower application?
The single-cell DX81 Battery Module life varies based on the application. The Power Solutions document (Banner p/n 140386) lists some sensors that have been evaluated for use with the FlexPower Nodes. However, the sample and report rates used in your network configuration will affect the battery life. The slower the sample and report rates, the longer the battery will last. Depending on the sensor and configuration of your devices, your battery or battery pack can last anywhere from several months to more than 10 years. For sensors not included in the Power Solutions document, Banner Engineering sells a cable that can be used to help you estimate the current draw of your sensor when the sensor is powered on and off. Remember, most manufacturers assume a constant power to their sensor. The power consumption values you measure after your sensor is cycled on and off may differ from any power consumption values published in the manufacturer’s literature.
