Empowerment - Isabelle Sourmey - Application Engineering Civil Electronics Division - August 28, 2020

Choosing the right battery for your Internet of things device is a complex task that is better addressed early in the design process to prevent your IoT project from taking a wrong turn.

In these videos, Isabel Sourmey, Application Engineer at Saft’s Connected Energy Division, provides 5 actionable tips on choosing and integrating the best battery for your IoT device and building a product that delivers on its promise.
 

5 Tips to sail through battery selection for your IoT device
 

Tip #1: Think about the power supply of your connected object at an early stage

 

Tip #2: Studying the consumption of your object is a good idea, but pay attention to voltage too.

 

Tip #3: Optimize your design.

 

Tip #4: Test your IOT objects with their batteries in real-life conditions  

 

Tip #5: Request a battery lifetime calculation from your supplier.

 

Still at loss? Or want to find out more?

Here is a list of some of the resources that can help you:

  • In our white paper « How to energize successfully your IoT project? », we explore how choosing the right battery solution must go beyond looking at meeting criteria for technical performance and ensures that the financial requirements of the IoT project will be met.
  • Our FAQ can shed a little light on some of the technical terms used in the battery selection process.  
  • Find out « How can primary batteries achieve their expected lifetime » and what influences the battery operating time. 
  • In this article, we are explaining « The impact of the communication technology protocol on your IoT application’s power consumption »
  • Follow us on our blog, on Twitter and on LinkedIn for many more tips and best practices to empower you to make the best possible decisions for your IoT device.
