Hello,
I am looking for support from a specialist in power stages, current consumption etc. especially with batteries in IoT devices mainly.
We developed an IoT location and telemetry device that in its first version we did it with 3xAA alkaline batteries and it works quite well. Both the MCU and the IoT Module work from 4.5V to 3.2V.
Now we require to use the same PCB but with a battery pack of 2 or 3 LiSOCl2 size18505 + Super Capacitor. The maximum peak currents is 400- mAh approx.
The requirements are as follows:
- To know if the Super Cap size is sufficient to recharge if the device reports max every 5 minutes permanently on Cat-M mainly. It is to send a payload of about 300 bytes.
- To know if a booster or step up is required and what features. The battery runs from 3.6 - 2.0V and we need to have the output voltage at 3.3V. The ideal is to maximize the capacity of the battery without the booster is depleting the battery considerably.
- In other cases it will report once or twice a day, and is expected to have a life of 5 to 7 years with a 2 battery pack totaling 8.2Ah nominal.
