Answer: Yes; however, it is a formula for a ballpark estimate only and cannot be used to calculate battery life for alkalines. You must to have the current drain of the device and mAh rating of the battery to make this calculation.
Estimated total battery life = (Ib / Id) x 0.7
Where:
Ib = Total Capacity Rating of battery (mAh)
Id = Current Consumption of the device in milliamps (mA)
Note: Use of this formula does not guarantee that you will get the determined battery life. Other factors such as weather condition (temperature, humidity, etc.), and battery condition can extend/shorten the battery life. |
