how to minimize the power consumption of the device

Hi, 

I am working on the our customized board  nRF52832 , interfaced with MAX30205 temperature sensor . I am advertising the data only when it reaches the below temperature, I am reading the temperature sensor every 1 minute using RTC . Even I have lowered the advertising interval too 

1. Device is powered up using coin cell

2. coin cell is draining very quickly (working for the one hour),  when I reset the device after 5 mins or 10mins I am retraining the coin cell voltage how can we fox this problem ?

I know the nature of coin cell battery . 

3. can we fix this problem via hardware or software ?

4. There are multiple devices which are working for more than a month using coin cell, I also want to run the device atleast one month

 please suggest me 

Thanks & Regards

  • Hi

    Have you done any current consumption measurements to see exactly how much current the device uses while it's sleeping, idle, advertising, and so on? Please check out our current consumption guide, which explains all the most common ways to reduce current consumption and how to measure the current consumption of your device. 

    Best regards,
