The new S2 ("mini") vibration & shock sensor comes equipped with two accelerometers in addition to the standard embedded sensor suite of a gyroscope, magnetometer, pressure, temperature, humidity, and light.
The primary accelerometer has a±40g range which provides the greatest utility between measuring vibration events as well as typical small impacts. Its secondary±200g accelerometer is useful for low power triggering and to help capture even higher shock levels. This model is ideal for general purpose vibration and shock testing, especially when you don't have a great understanding of the acceleration levels in your environment.

Battery performance is heavily dependent upon the device configuration (sensor sample rates and triggers), battery age (including charging cycles), and temperature. 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. With triggers, it assumes the device is in trigger mode 99% of the time. Here are some additional resources: Setting Sensor Configuration, Battery Specifications, Battery Life Estimator Tool.
