Selected Battery (K5) =
K1 =
partly discharged battery
correction factor taking care that the battery might not be fully charged
(we assume that in worst case the battery is only at 80% fully charged)
K1 =
-30°
correction factor taking care that the battery may be used
at ambient temperature of - 30 degress
(at -30 degrees the battery has only 30% of nominal capacity)
K5 = correction factor taking care of that the battery
is defined by manufacturer for 5 hours discharge time
Calculation for AIS =
transmit pulse length 26,6ms with a maximum repetition rate of 2 seconds results in a maximum of 30
pulses/minute  1800 pulses/hour x 26,6 ms  47880 ms  47,88 seconds transmit time during one
hour 47,88 seconds  0,8 minutes  0,0133 hours transmitting time during one hour operation
 Up-Rounded to 0,02 hrs transmitting time
Above mentioned calculation assumes that all equipment is in operation which is normally not valid,
that means that the actual consumption is lower.
