There are a variety of usage factors impacting battery
life that need to be considered during development...
Battery Life
This differs tremendously depending on the usage factors and power drain
of connected accessories; for example:
- GPS receivers
- Bluetooth connected accessories
- Barcode Scanners and RF ID receivers
- Wireless and cellular communications
Device usage patterns impact battery life and mobile device developers
need to be aware of the impact of the "power drain" of
different approaches. Operations that impact battery life:
- Frequent server polling using cellular comms
- the volume of scanning activities
- Screen brightness settings
- Turning off power management
