Product requirements and use cases
To choose a battery, identify the product uses and minimum requirements for the application. Usage and requirements have a direct impact on the battery’s parameters. For example:
- Physical dimensions – Available space in the product
- Electrical parameters – Supply voltage range, peak current consumption
- Operating profile – Frequency and duration of transmissions, receive windows, measurements, and sleep durations
- Life expectancy – Shelf life and service life
- Environmental – Storage and operating temperatures, moisture, and humidity
- Other considerations – Cost, rechargeability and disposability
