+\* *The 2 x AA batteries are connected in series but since uses emonTH uses a DC-DC converter capacity is effectivly 2xAA capacity (mius losses), [see forum post](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/emonth-v2/1696/18?u=glyn.hudson)*

 Given the measured power consumption the emonTh2 is estimated to have a battery life of 7.6 years!
 
-Plugging in the [power consumption figures from the emonTh V1](http://blog.openenergymonitor.org/2013/10/emonth-update-software-power/) (with DHT22) into the calculator a 1.4 year battery life is estimated.

 From [real world testing](http://blog.openenergymonitor.org/2015/02/real-world-emonth-battery-life) is been established that the emonTh V1 actually achieves a 8 month battery life. This is 57% less than the estimated figure.
 
-Assuming the battery life calculator is overestimating by the same amount for the emonTH V2 we can **expect a real world battery life of just over 5 years**, which is not too bad :-p

 I have setup a battery life test with the emonTh V2 with Si7021 sensor, I will report back in a couple of years :-)
