Hours = hours of battery use
Ah = Amp Hour rating of the battery
Load = how much current the instrument draws in Amps
7.2.6 Maximum Current Sourcing Capabilities
The maximum current sourcing capabilities of a lithium battery defines how much current the
battery can source before its voltage will drop significantly. Batteries with a low rating of
Maximum recommended continuous currents (below 800ma) may produce a sharp voltage drop
when the Micro SVP demands a burst of current such as when it powers up or when an optional
sensor or pump is turned on. If the voltage drops below the Micro SVP’s operational voltage, the
instrument may reset itself or behave erratically.
