Meshtastic Client Power ConsumptionJust successfully put together my Meshtastic client using Heltec V3 with 1200 mAh. Fits perfectly in the CyberNet Case for Heltec V3 and 1200 mAh Battery - LoRa Meshtastic Radio Device by EveryThang3D. Attached below is the power consumption as measured with diymore USB C Power Meter. Picture a bit hard to read. It basically show 5v 0.66 amp current draw, which translates to 3.3 watts. Attached Image: Duke Getting ready for EDC Las Vegas 2025, so I'm testing how long the Meshtastic radio lasts with the 1200 mAh battery. I started the test at 9 AM today. It is now 3:29 PM and it shows 69% 3.88V battery power life. That's 6.5 hours since it started. Duke For comparison, I'm also testing a 4000 mAh radio at the same time. It also started at 100%. After 6.5 hours, it shows 94% 4.10V. This battery might last through 3 EDC nights on one charge! Duke The 1200 mAh radio went into sleep mode, due to low battery. The last reading from another radio was around 8:52 PM with 20% battery power. So the 1200 mAh radio lasted just shy of 12 hours. The 4000 mAh radio still has 80% power at 10:52 PM. Duke
