Batteries:

Notes:

  • Voltage measurements taken two ways at beginning and end of use:
  • First listed value is open-circuit, as measured using a multimeter
  • Second listed value is reported by the pump using openaps use pump read_battery_status, either right after battery insertion or on final loop before pump goes to "Low Battery" state
  • Battery 03: Stayed at full bars for first ~230 hours, then went to two bars and then zero bars within the final 10 hours
  • Battery 04: Performed similarly, going from full bars when I went to sleep to a "Low Battery" state when I woke up (hence the discrepancy between the duration and the start time of the next battery)
  • Battery 08: Higher duration likely due to extended periods where APS was not active
  • Battery 09: At the end, caught the status reading "low"—meaning there was a successful transmission after it went to "Low Battery" state (happened about 7 minutes after the alert)
  • Battery 11: Higher duration likely due to extended periods where APS was not active; starting and ending voltages as read by the pump were also the highest and lowest seen, respectively, thus far
  • Battery 12: Charged to full capacity immediately before testing/insertion; voltage started low but hung around ~1.25 V (per openaps use) longer than others, anecdotally
