Battery Life Estimation Wizard

Scope: Autonomous Devices

The wizard calculates the estimated battery life according to the device configuration parameters and additional parameters which have to do with the electrical specifications of the external sensors. The latter do not affect the device configuration.

Configuration parameters which affect the battery life are:
