https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/5474/nrf8002-power-consumption-and-nrrfgoI am designing a product with the nrf8002 chip and have a question on Power consumption. Lets say I leave all the default ratio&#39;s alone and use a CR1620 battery which has 75mah. By default, I get .53 years or about 6 months of battery life.

It has no effect on the real power consumption. In fact all the option in the &quot;Current Consumption&quot; panel has no effect on the real power consumption (the xml configuration file)</p> <p>The current consumption monitor based on the electrical properties in the spec so it will not be 100% accurate. It should be used only as a reference source. You should do actual measurement on your board.</p> <p>By changing to longer advertising interval, and connection interval you should be able to decrease the current consumption. Higher ppm, larger slave latency would also help.</p> <p>However, this changes of course have negative effect, such as longer response time, longer connection establishment, slower data rate, higher chance for the connection to break , etc.</p> <p>So, you need to balance them and find the golden ratio that&#39;s best for your application.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
