Energy harvesting and batteries for Generic Node

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Profiles a CR2 lithium cell spot‑welded to an AutoArc test rig and measures 804 mAh measured vs 800 mAh datasheet, then uses the Ulti Battery Life Estimator to produce 7.7 months at SF12 and 3.4 years at SF9 for the example node. Tests a SparkFun COM16356 panel with IV curve and an MPPT harvester (Jasper Sikkim) charging a 30 F lithium capacitor; harvester enables 2.1 V output when capacitor exceeds 2.6 V and the node successfully transmits.
