Measuring Battery Life Using DL Battery Manager App on Memor 1

This article explains how to use the DL Battery Manager App to generate battery usage logs and estimate battery life on a Datalogic Memor 1 device. By configuring the device and enabling data logging, users can monitor battery consumption and calculate expected battery duration under specific usage conditions.

 

 

1. Prepare the Device for Testing

• Set the following conditions on the Memor 1 to standardize battery usage:
  • Charge Battery to 100%
  • Sleep Mode: Set to Never
  • (Settings > Display > Sleep > Never)
  • Brightness Level: Set to 80%
  • (Settings > Display > Brightness Level > 80%)
  • Wi-Fi: Turn On and connect to a network
  • Bluetooth: Turn Off

2. Launch DL Battery Manager App

• Double-tap to open the DL Battery Manager App.

3. Enable Data Logging

• Navigate to:
  • DLBattery > Data Logging > Setup
  • Set Logging Period to 10 minutes
  • Toggle Enable Data Logging to ON

      

4. Monitor Battery Logs

• Go to:
  • DLBattery > Data Logging > Logs
  • Review the log entries which include:
    • Date
    • Status
    • Source
    • mV (Voltage)
    • mA (Current consumption)
    • mAh (Battery capacity used)

5. Estimate Battery Life

• Use the mAh values to calculate average consumption:
  • Example:
    • If battery drops from 2442 mAh to 2073 mAh in 1 hour,
    • the consumption is 369 mAh/hour

• Estimate battery life:
  • Battery capacity: 3000 mAh
  • Estimated life = 3000 ÷ 369 ≈ 8.1 hours

      
Additional Notes

• Actual battery life may vary based on usage, background apps, and environmental conditions.
• For consistent results, avoid using other apps during the test period.
• Logs can be exported for further analysis if needed.
