Battery Life Estimates
We have made some very detailed measurements of the battery current, when powering the Battery Converter, the DigiSnap 2100
controller, and the K110D camera. Given this current vs time profile when taking pictures, we are able to project how long a battery
pack will last, without a solar panel. Using the solar panel, the battery life is essentially unlimited. Please note that this projection is
based on the measurements of one set of equipment, presuming a perfect battery pack, at room temperature. There are a host of things
that can reduce the actual battery life, so please plan accordingly!
In summary, if configured to take 15 pictures or less per day, the battery may last as much as 3 months. At 100 pictures per day, the
battery can last as much as 50 days. See the following chart for more details.
