Long life battery ideas

[particle7888]

Hi @botto,

Just wondering if you have seen some of the forum posts on battery recommendations?

Recommend a long-lasting battery

whatever, but you don’t need to worry about the draw-down during broadcast events, because the little LiPo can handle that very easily… The current out to keep the charge is very minimal… A car battery is cheaper than LiFePo4 apples to apples, I’d guess. Motorcycle battery maybe? Upwards of 15 AH and a nicer footprint. I’d guess you can buy one for $30.00 or so…
