#134448 - Calculate battery lifetime
hello all

I'm working on a 8052 project running on batteries
I has to keep running an entire weekend (some 50-55h)
I want to make a 3.6V or 4.8V stack of batteries. 3.6V has is preferred since this uses 1 battery less ($$ and space), the power consumption is 20mA.
What should teh capacity be?
the controller (AT89S8253 has a minimum voltage of 2.7V

Can anyone help me on this?
I was told a 1700mAh battery would supply 1.7A for 1 hour, or 850mA for 2 hours etc..

but does the battery keep it's 3.6V?

I hope someone has teh answer
Regards!
