How Long Can An Arduino Run On Batteries? I Tested 6 Of The Most Common Boards

In this video, we're going to be looking at the power consumption of a number of different Arduino boards, with the aim being to try and power them for as long as possible using two 3.7V, 4200mAh, 18650 Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Most Arduino's require a minimum input voltage of around 6V, so we're going to be using two 3.7V batteries in series to power the boards. I've also included a 3.3V Pro Mini, which can be run on a single battery as a comparison test.

Have a look at the full write up for the links to the sketches and to the low power library used - https://www.the-diy-life.com/how-long...
