6.5 Transmit Rate vs. Battery Life
Many factors such as ambient temperature conditions and transmitting rate can
have a big effect on the life of the battery used in your end device. Transmitting
data places a big demand of the battery in your unit. The transmit rate is the
single most contributing factor in the life of your battery. The slower the transmit
rate you set, the longer the battery in your device will last. The table below give
some estimates on how long the battery should last vs. the transmit rate you
selected when you setup your end device and under normal operating
conditions.
