PRODUCTION DATA.
This design, for example, is for an automotive eCall solution. Calculate the required battery capacity by taking into account the required talk and standby time while in battery backup. Assume 10 minutes for a call followed by a 60-minute idle time (while pinging still occurs), and finally an additional 10-minute call. Understand the typical aging characteristics of the battery to know when the remaining capacity still fulfills the required capacity calculated previously. If the calculations show the requirement for a 1-Ah battery, a reasonable capacity battery to use would be 20% larger, or 1.2 mAh.
