Battery-Powered Remote Wireless Sensors Go to Extremes (.PDF Download)

Nov. 17, 2020

Indoor wireless applications have much different power requirements than remote outdoor locations. Indoor applications are generally more accessible for easy battery replacement, and moderate temperatures serve to maximize battery life, commonly enabling the use of inexpensive consumer-grade alkaline and lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries.

The opposite is true for remote wireless applications, particularly those connected to the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that experience prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. These applications demand the use of robust, long-life, industrial-grade lithium batteries that can achieve extended battery life to reduce the total cost of ownership.
