The current was measured through a 1-ohm resistor, therefore all readings in mV correspond to mA of current.
1. Listening. These values are a bit on the high side due to RF testing, they may come down by another 20-30%. Presently the ON time consumes 28.8mA for 6ms, which is equivalent to 0.000048 mAH. The cycle is repeated every 470ms. So every hour the device uses 0.367659mAh. That makes the 700mAh battery last 1904 hours or 79 days (2.6 months) when the device is never activated
2. The pager consumes an average of 20mA for 10ms each pulse, and the pager sound repeats this pulse 4 times. Therefore each pager activation uses up 20mA for 40ms. With one battery you could page 3,150,000 times without taking into account the listening overhead
3. Pulses: the step up circuitry consumes a lot of current to create the high voltage. When you activate the pulse multiple times with a short delay the consumption is greatly reduced, here we publish the details for the first pulse (worst case scenario for consumption). For a level 2 pulse in manner mode (no buzzer) we have 175mA for 40ms. That means the battery contains enough juice for 360,000 pulse level 2 manner mode activations excluding listening and anything else. For a level 3 pulse the consumption is doubled, and the audio signal consumes about 1/5th of the pulse current when manner mode is OFF.
4. Motor: the motor consumes about 80mA when it is fed a constant current. This is already limited through an internal resistor. It can further be limited (thereby reducing current consumption) by feeding the motor a pulse wave (PWM). This normally reduces the perceived intensity but there is a sweet spot which still feels almost as strong as full current and doesn't require continuous current. Requires some experimentation and can be fine-tuned by software and with later updates. Assuming the worst though, at 80mA consumption, the battery would last only 8.75 hours if the motor was kept constantly on. However, the perceived strength is actually increased by cycling the motor ON/OFF with about a 50% cycle. Half a second the motor stays on, half a second it's switched off. This modality is the real maximum stimulation worst case current consumption scenario giving a still modest 17.5 hours battery life with continuous activation. In most situations it was determined experimentally that 3 to 4 rounds of 5 pulse cycles are sufficient to put the male in a compliant state when a sufficient period of chastity has been observed. This brings the "per use" current to 2.5s*4*80mA = 800mAs. Under these circumstances the battery contains enough charge for 3150 activations. Supposing these activations were repeated automatically throughout a 12 hour work day every 20 minutes as a "chastity enhancer", we have 36 activations per day. That means 8mAh per day, or 240 mAh a month. Supposing the total battery life in listening mode came out to exactly 3 months you would be eating up 1/3rd of the battery by implementing this continuously, therefore the battery would last only 2 months.
We see the motor as being used mostly in this scenario or connected to positive feedback in our courseware, which helps learning and doesn't require much ON time. The motor is most definitely not to be used as a vibrator, which would compromise the chastity regime anyway.
Just as a curiosity we may provide an online calculator in the future which enables you to test different scenarios and calculate battery life based on your intended usage patterns.
If any of the above calculations seem incorrect please let us know, we are posting this in a hurry.
