Hi Seb Again, I looked in the spec's, and to give you an idea about the required power: Max for RFM12 = 24 mA and for the RFM70 = 23 mA. But it is possible by transmitting with lower power, and it wil not be transmitting 100% of the time. When the Receiver is active current for the RFM12b is 13 mA and for the RFM 70 = 20 mA. Beside this, there are Standby and power-of modes (currents < 1 mA).
