Battery capacity
A good practise is to minimise battery consumption during the operation as this can dramatically
extend the operational time. The best way to minimize battery drainage is to use as little Transmit
power as possible. If Transmission distances are short, output power of 100 mW could be
adequate. As well the device should be switched off if not in use.
Below are the typical operational times in various conditions.
