Embedded battery sleep-wake budget calculator

Calculate average current and ideal runtime with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use average current and ideal runtime to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Phases [duration seconds,current mA]
[[1,100],[59,0.1]]
Usable battery capacity (mAh)
2000
Average current (mA)
1.765
Ideal runtime (hours)
1,133.144476

Try another scenario

Phases [duration seconds,current mA]
[[1,100],[59,0.1]]
Usable battery capacity (mAh)
3000
Average current (mA)
1.765
Ideal runtime (hours)
1,699.716714
Calculation method

Calculation method

Average current (mA)

Sum duration×current / total duration.

Ideal runtime (hours)

Usable capacity/average current; no conversion, aging or pulse-load model.

Symbols and units
a
Phases [duration seconds,current mA]
b
Usable battery capacity (mAh)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Measured currents, duty phases, capacity. Returns Average current and ideal runtime. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Usable battery capacity (mAh): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
