Battery & Storage Performance >> Battery Specifications >> Battery Life Estimator

Battery performance is heavily dependent upon the device configuration (sensor sample rates and triggers), battery age (including charging cycles), temperature, and WiFi interference/strength. The following table provides the battery life and storage capacity of this device assuming it has a relatively new battery and it is at room temperature. When showing performance it assumes all sensors are on at the default sample rate with the main accelerometer sample rate driving performance. It also assumes wireless upload is turned OFF. If the device is uploading to the cloud after every recording, assume a battery life of 50% that listed below. With triggers, it assumes the device is in trigger mode 99% of the time. Here are some additional resources: Measurement Settings, Battery Specifications, Battery Life Estimator Tool.

Sample Rate	Storage Capacity	Continuous Recording	Main Accel. Trigger	2nd Accel. Trigger	Periodic/Time Trigger
100 Hz	44 days	7 days	8 days	33 days	2.0 years
1,000 Hz	18 days	7 days	8 days	33 days	1.9 years
5,000 Hz	6 days	6 days	8 days	33 days	1.7 years
20,000 Hz	34 hours	3 days	8 days	33 days	320 days
