APPENDIX B
Use cases versus battery consumption
As mentioned before, the battery consumption may last up to 1 year, depending on the user’s scenario. In
order to deliver high quality services and products, RTX has made a calculation file which enables the user
to measure the estimated battery life depending on the scenario. The file allows the user to input the
expected average motion pattern of the device. This means that the user can specify the expected hours
that the Tag will be in motion and the number of times the button will be pressed. Based on this data, the
code will calculate the estimated battery life in days, months and years. A few example scenarios are
presented in the image below.
