What voltage would a 140 be running at if the micro boost is set to 1A.
Need to know because I want to calculate the current draw at battery so I can estimate battery life.
EDIT:
So assuming the diode uses 4.4V @ 1A and the driver efficiency is 80%:
Its pulling 5.5W from the battery. Which means a current draw from battery of:
-1.31A when fully charged (4.2V)
-1.49A nominal voltage (3.7V)
-1.83A when discharged (3.0V)
The battery is a 14500 about 900mAh with a discharge rating of 1.5C.
This means a safe discharge of about 1.35A.
If I keep a short duty cycle, it should be able to get at least 30 min of run time right ?
