Why long battery lifetime in IoT devices is more than just convenience
If you are in the market for battery-powered IoT devices like smart sensors for your IoT-based solution, you probably want your devices to have a long battery lifetime.
Especially, if you are looking to get white labelled devices that will have your brand on them, so that you do not risk any association between the inconvenience of short battery lifetime and your brand.
But there are, in fact, more good reasons to get IoT devices with long battery lifetime than just convenience:
- Safety first: Ready when users need them
If you offer a solution that includes critical monitoring devices – such as smoke or heat alarms to detect fire or motion or entry sensors to detect intruders, the reliability of the devices you offer is extremely important.
When using devices with short battery lifetime, the risk of these devices to be out of battery when the user really needs them is bigger, which can have serious consequences in case of an emergency.
It is therefore crucial not to sacrifice quality of your devices for a lower cost, as this can lead to poor performance of your solution. Instead, opt for high-quality, certified devices that have been proven to work in large-scale solutions. - Less battery waste
If users have to change batteries in your devices often, obviously that means an increased consumption of batteries.
A bigger consumption of batteries means more battery waste and resources spent producing these batteries. - Spare your users for battery costs
Frequent battery replacements add up – not just in terms of effort and resource waste, but also in terms of costs for the users of your solution.
Devices with long battery lifetime are a valuable selling point for your solution as it takes away both the effort and cost of frequent battery changes from your customers.
