Power consumption: How much power does the Battery-Guard consume with and without Bluetooth?

Wondering how much power your Battery-Guard consumes?

In this blog post, we take a closer look at the power consumption of the Battery Guard and give you helpful tips on how to minimize consumption.

Problem and solution:

The Battery-Guard is a clever tool that monitors the condition of your battery and protects you from nasty surprises. However, like other electronic devices, it also consumes some power itself.

In this video or directly below the video, we explain how high the power consumption of the Battery Guard is and how you can minimize it.

The Battery-Guard in detail

Without Bluetooth connection:

The power consumption is a low 0.534 milliamperes.
This corresponds to a consumption of approx. 0.004 watts per hour.
For comparison: a 25 watt light bulb consumes 25 watts per hour.

The power consumption of the Battery Guard without Bluetooth is therefore extremely low and has no significant impact on the life of your battery.

With active Bluetooth connection:

The power consumption increases to around 1.7 milliamperes.
This corresponds to a consumption of approx. 0.014 watts per hour.
This is also very low compared to other devices.

Nevertheless, consumption can have a negative impact on the battery voltage if you keep your smartphone permanently within range of the device with Bluetooth activated.

Tips for minimizing power consumption:

Switch off Bluetooth if you are not actively using the Battery Guard.
Only connect to the Battery-Guard if you want to use the app.
Avoid leaving your smartphone permanently within range of the Battery Guard when Bluetooth is activated.

With these simple tips, you can keep power consumption to a minimum and use your Battery-Guard worry-free.
