I only have a fairly small space to use for this, hence the small battery, I've got several packs of various lithium AA/AAA's/9V around, I'd certainly use those if I could. The cost of the battery doesn't worry me, at 1200mAh it should deliver through to its expiry, if I can keep it all dry.... :) I haven't discounted trying a CR2032 or two instead, although capacity would take a hit.... I'll take a look at the the regulators you've linked. Cheers. The reason I've chosen the ATtiny85V is I have some here, and find them easy to program, and they're small enough. I only really need the one output, but may add a little battery state LED as well yet. --- Quote from: mariush on September 10, 2019, 01:29:32 pm ---Have you considered using AA batteries ? ----- There are microcontrollers that run from battery but if you need 3v, why not just use a very efficient voltage doubler IC... would be over 95% efficient at a few mA of current. ..... There's also very efficient switching regulators.. here's ex ..... --- End quote --- |

You can get lithium based AA batteries like Energizer Ultimate Lithium that have something like 3500mAh at around 1.4v..1.7v ... see : http://data.energizer.com/pdfs/l91.pdf They're not cheap at around 2-3$ each but it's way cheaper than your 14$ battery. --- End quote --- 3.6v primary lithiums can be also found cheaper than 14$ IE: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/tadiran-batteries/TL-5101-P/439-1003-ND/512505 https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/panasonic-bsg/BR-1-2AAE2PN/P630-ND/1118808 |
