5.1 Battery Power
M2110 is designed for battery power. Any battery combination (AA, AAA, C, D, etc., cells) can
be used provided that the output is between 2.7 VDC to 3.6 VDC.
Care should be used in selecting the battery and its capacity to match the energy needs of the
motes and their required operating span. Also make sure that the temperature range and
associated capacity degradation are looked at prior to deployment.
Table 5-1 below provides some useful guidance on current consumption of various system
components.
