The assessment of lifetime and energy absorption includes some margin for energy
capacity dispersion of the battery cells and losses over the lifetime. However the operator
must always allow an additional safety margin of error in operation calculations.
The percentage figures given in the different tables hereafter are showing the ratio of the
consumed energy to the energy capacity of the fresh battery pack (Alkaline or Lithium)
and for tonal or MFSK CAF Acoustic acknowledgment pulses.
