Hey guys- I am pretty novice when it comes to frequencies and electrical issues but my company is having a problem with our CR1632 batteries not lasting very long
currently, we are using a "module" that houses a PCB board, accelerometer, Bluetooth low energy, and a battery holder all in one device. The problem we are currently having is we need real time interaction rates (accelerometer) with this module and for our module to talk to our other device WITHOUT a delay(BLE), we need to be sure the module does not go to "sleep." hence the reason the battery dies extremely fast (within a month). We need a potential fix for the battery. We were thinking of tweaking the firmare to utilize a larger battery, though that seems like a pretty extreme cost to do with every module that we develop. I haven't found any solution to rechargeable 1632 batteries and we don't have an option to plug them in at the moment. WE did look at maplin 1632 which states "For use where very low quiescent currents need to be maintained for very long periods with only occasional demands for high current drain" which in theory sounds great, but that might also be every 1632 option.
our device is paired with a tablet the entire time, which of course kills the battery as well.
any tips, tricks, insight? I am not trying to be vague, I hope that this is adequate information to go off of
