I'm trying to find a suitable coin cell battery to run a small PIR motion detector module.
The specs on the module say it operates on 4-15V @ 45uA (microamps) when no signal is detected (standby), and 20mA when it senses motion and sends a logic output.
Since this operates at just above the standard 3 Volts that most coin cell batteries are I'm looking at this 6V battery from Digikey, capacity rating on this guy is 165mAh @ 30µA.
My question is, at 45uA how long will this battery last? I expect to see motion only a dozen or so times a day so the majority of it's life will be in standby mode.
