Lifetime of the Lithium Battery Pack
As described in the previous chapter the lifetime of the lithium battery pack depends
heavily on the configuration of the radio reception (interval and duration) and the
frequency of the FTP data upload. Another parameter, which must also be taken into
account, is the number of different consumptions meters received; since the number
of stored radio telegrams has an impact on the duration of the FTP data upload. The
tables below are giving an estimation of the lifetime to expect from the battery pack at
different configurations:
