Title: How to figure out battery life?
Post by: slightlys on June 26, 2004, 07:09:22 PM

I am powering my UA-5 with a 9.6v 3000 mAh battery. the UA-5 is drawing 450 mA. what is the cool little formula I can use to calculate battery power life-time?
any help is appreciated! ;D

I might be retarded, but isn't it just 3000/450 ~ 6.5 hours?

Since Skalinder hasnt chimed in yet, Ill do an "ahemm" in his place and tell you to look in the archives ;D

PS: ( battery capacity / current draw ) * .80 = estimated run-time
