• Battery optimization assessments by configuration comparison

Additional Information

Hardware highlights:

• Bluetooth connectivity
• 1.3-inch OLED display
• User and Reset buttons
• USB rechargeable battery
• Battery charging LED + 2 status indicator LEDs

Battery insight (illustrative):

• Battery impact is calculated under best conditions using 19-byte messages (DR0 max).
• DR1 can lead to approximately +50% battery drain versus DR0 (under the stated assumptions).
