No, there's no Anelok in this. It's just the battery and a 15 kOhm resistor. The purpose of the test is to determine how this somewhat old (5real-life battery performs compared to what I found in data sheets. Specifically, the nice diagram on the first page of http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/cr2032.pdf E.g., if I should see that this battery only lasts for half the time, then I wouldn't have to worry if experiment with Anelok also show a comparably short run time. The experiment so far has already established that the battery does not have any catastrophic defect, which is one of the things I initially suspected. The observed output voltage is about 50 mV below what I would have expected from the data sheet, which may mean that the battery behaves as if it was about 200 hours further into the experiment than it really is (taking into account aging and nominal capacity). That's unexpected. But it's still too early to draw conclusions. Things will get more interesting when the battery enters its final steep decline. > What do you DESIRE (hope for, dream of...) as > number-of-months-between-battery-replacement-if-password-lookup-20-times-per-day? Ah, this question sounds familiar :) The answer is still the same, about two months: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/2014-January/010448.html - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
