If 2% of the battery is 2% of 3000mAh (which is probably a generous over-estimate of the phone's capacity), that means the phone pulls ~60mA.
You can buy a 60,000 mAh battery (or build one) for about $50, which would buy this device 10,000 hours, or round it down and call it 1 year.
- walz 2y ago60,000 divided by 60 is 1000, not 10,000. So only about a month, still a lot of time! The phone has 4,000mAh, too.
- xk3 2y agoIt uses solar power, right? So I think it was built with that in mind. charge during the day and run until it loses power at night
- authorfly 2y agoHow big are 60k mAh safe batteries? I know eBikes are a massive step up from laptop batteries (seemingly better for the density too somehow?)

(I picked one up recently for another project and it actually does deliver as advertised performance.)
