Consumption
Consumption table
The NB-IoT / Cat-M module is directly powered by the battery. The next table shows the Waspmote's peak current consumption in different states of the NB-IoT / Cat-M module.
State
Mean power consumption
On
TBD
Idle state (DRX = 1.28 s)
16 mA
PSM mode (only NB-IoT / Cat-M module)
25 uA
Cat-M data transfer (B20)
215 mA
NB-IoT data transfer (B20)
190 mA
Non-rechargeable batteries are not advised for the NB-IoT / Cat-M module, because the high peaks of current consumption could make the voltage of these batteries to go below the threshold, so Waspmote would reset. The rechargeable battery will not suffer this effect as long as its level is above 20%.
The complete consumption table can be found in the manufacturer website.
