SUSTAINABILITY
Maximum Battery Life Average Current draw for the
system is 2.3 A Battery Rating is 4400 mAh Therefore, Overall Battery
life is about 2 hours.
SUSTAINABILITY
Through testing, we found that the battery performance dropped after 20-30 minutes of use.
To obtain the highest possible performance throughout the SECON Hardware Competition, the battery packs were charged following each run.
