Measuring capacity of alkaline battery

Measuring capacity of alkaline battery

December 8, 2017

Last week we looked at a constant resistive load with an Alkaline battery. We showed how it discharges the AAA battery, how much operating time we get from it, and the voltage recovery behavior.

Today, in the second part of the tutorial on the alkaline battery, we look at a Varta battery to see how big difference in capacity there can be between different brands. We also show the importance of minimizing your IoT device’s average load in order to allow your battery some on-the-fly recovery and use most of its capacity.
