The duration of discharge depends on the end application. It is very sensitive to transmission (Voice
and Data) so we recommend making as few as possible and keeping them as short as possible. Please
disable GPS, or keep it in a low power mode when possible to extend battery life when longer
periods of use (without charging) are required.
Keep in mind that the battery will be 100% operative once a few charge and discharge cycles have
been performed.
Example 1. Li‐Po battery attached, 25ºC ambient temperature
The blue colored circle shows when the battery is being charged. When it reaches 4.40V (to be
checked using the AT^SBV command), the battery is fully charged (green colored circle). In the above
example, charging time is 6 hours 30 minutes.
If the charger is disconnected, the battery starts to discharge. The duration of the battery is very
dependent upon the applications used; in the example above, the battery lasts approximately 11
hours and 30 minutes. Please note that the minimum battery level module switches off
automatically, when the battery voltage is around 3.65V (please remember to check using the
AT^SBV command).
