The CR2032 battery lifespan calculator estimates how long a standard 225mAh CR2032 coin cell battery will last based on your device's current consumption.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the battery's total capacity by the current consumption to determine how many hours it will last.
Details: Knowing your battery lifespan helps in device design, maintenance scheduling, and power management decisions.
Tips: Enter your device's current consumption in milliamps (mA). For microamps (μA), divide by 1000 before entering.
Q1: What affects CR2032 battery life?
A: Temperature, discharge rate, and battery quality can all affect actual lifespan.
Q2: Is 225mAh accurate for all CR2032 batteries?
A: Capacity varies slightly by manufacturer, but 225mAh is a standard reference value.
Q3: How can I measure my device's current consumption?
A: Use a multimeter in series with the battery to measure current draw.
Q4: What if my device has intermittent power usage?
A: Calculate average current consumption over time for more accurate estimates.
Q5: Can this calculator be used for other batteries?
A: Yes, if you know the battery's mAh rating, though the formula would need adjustment.
