What is the average life span of the battery in the wireless sensors?
The life span of the battery is dependent on a number of factors: how long the sensor is “sleeping” (a sensor will draw nominal power during sleep state ~.5µ Amps); how long it takes the sensor to reach its awake state, and how long it is on, using the radio to transmit the data to the MonnitLink™ Wireless Gateway. Monnit estimates through normal usage a sensor in the field should last 2-4 years before it needs to be recycled.

Monnit estimates through normal usage a sensor in the field should last over 1 year at a 1 hour heartbeat before it needs to be replaced.
