Good afternoon,
I need to specify a battery capacity for a railways wagon to run with a Wisblock Kit 2 for 6 months, the I need to know the minimum and maximum power consumption (GPS and accelorometer).
You have to measure the consumption of the device to be able to calculate the required battery size. As the consumption depends on
how often do you send location data
how long it takes to get a valid location (can be 30-60 seconds from a cold start of the RAK12500)
how often do you acquire a location
what LoRaWAN region, what data rate, what TX power
it is difficult to give an assumption.
If you can get a Nordic PPK2, that is a very good tool to measure the current consumption. (No, I am not earning anything when you buy a PPK2, but I really love that device).
Example measurement from a RAK4631 on a RAK19007. Sending every 60 seconds on AS923-3 with max TX power.~34uA sleep current, but that is not relevant because of the send interval of 1 minute,
