Power vs. Average Power
Power is the power used during a single action. Power over time gives you capacity used. - Motor Motion: 12V @ 500mA for .5 Seconds
Average Power is power used over a fixed period of time. - Motor Motion: Door used 20 times per hour
Eg. The motor uses: 20times *12V * .5A * .5sec * 1/3600 = 16mW/Hour

Example Battery Life Example
Imagine you are building a keypad activated door lock. You want it to run as long as possible. For some reason you are required to use a 9V alkaline battery.

How long will the system work?Can the 9V system directly drive the Lock? If not how can we fix it?
Specifics for Example
Property Value
KeyPad Use 3.3V @ 5mA
Lock Cycle 200mA @ 6V
Controller Active 3.3V @ 2mA
Controller Stand By 3.3V @ 2uA
System Leakage 2uA
9-6V Regulator Switching Regulator at 95% Eff.
6-3.3V Regulator Linear Regulator
Uses per Day 200
9V RINT ≈ 1.5Ω, 600mAH @ 25mA

Battery Safety
Short CircuitsIn low resistance batteries, you can quickly create LARGE currents that can easily melt components.
Over HeatingDuring charging (and discharging) battery chemical reactions produce heat. The faster the rate the more heat. The issue is some chemistries (Lithium Ion) can ignite!

Take Away
Check both your average power for battery life and your instaneous power for intermitent usePick the correct battery type, not just the newestDon’t
