power-budget-calculator

To estimate battery life for an ESP32 or Arduino project, aggregate component currents, voltages, and duty cycles into a power budget. This calculation reveals total power consumption and expected runtime based on your specific operating profile.

A power budget calculation for embedded systems aggregates the current draw and duty cycles of individual components to estimate total power consumption. It helps developers plan battery size and evaluate sleep strategies for field deployments.

Yes, you can compare battery types for hobbyist electronics projects by evaluating them against a configurable power budget. This comparison estimates runtime under varying operating profiles to help you select the optimal power source.

Calculate runtime by combining component current draws with their respective duty cycles to evaluate sleep strategies. This approach models active and sleep states to estimate overall battery life and power consumption accurately.

Yes, the power budget calculator exports results for design reviews by generating a Markdown report and JSON export. These outputs document current, power, and runtime calculations in a shareable format.

Calculating embedded power budgets locally requires a component database and a battery database. These local references supply the currents and voltages needed to output current, power, and runtime calculations for your project.
