Sensor lifespan is essential to ensuring long-term efficiency and reliability. At Nexelec, we are committed to designing sensors with a battery life of up to 20 years — a true technological advancement in durability and performance.
This achievement is made possible through high-quality components and advanced battery technologies. Every measurement performed by our sensors is engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy and long-term stability, ensuring reliable data over time. Evaluating sensor performance is a key indicator of reliability, and our products are designed to maintain maximum efficiency throughout their entire lifespan.
Component quality: a key factor
The longevity of Nexelec sensors begins with the quality of the components we select. We use premium-grade components designed to withstand a wide range of environmental conditions.
Lithium batteries, for example, play a critical role. These batteries offer high energy density and deliver stable voltage output throughout their service life. Careful monitoring of battery capacity, temperature, and humidity performance ensures our sensors operate optimally over the long term.
Our temperature and humidity sensors are engineered to provide accurate, consistent data in diverse environments. The data collected at every measurement point is processed to deliver reliable, actionable insights. Nexelec sensors are built for sustained performance, meeting the demands of varied applications while maintaining precision and stability.
In addition, our batteries feature a very low self-discharge rate — losing approximately 1% of their capacity per year, even when not in use. This characteristic significantly extends operational life. Continuous evaluation of battery self-discharge confirms their outstanding long-term performance.
Thanks to minimal capacity loss, Nexelec sensors remain dependable in all types of indoor environments, including sensitive spaces where reliability is critical. This level of performance supports optimized energy management and long-term durability.
The importance of battery life
Battery life is another key factor in sensor longevity. The batteries integrated into our sensors are specifically selected for long service life and energy efficiency.
They are designed with low baseline current consumption and optimized transmission pulses, significantly reducing energy usage. As a result, battery replacement frequency is minimized, lowering maintenance costs and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Each Nexelec sensor is engineered to maximize energy efficiency while preserving long-term performance. Through ongoing testing and validation, we ensure our products consistently meet high standards for durability and reliability.
Online battery life estimation tool
To help customers estimate product battery life, Nexelec provides an online calculation tool available on the Nexelec Support website.
This tool allows users to evaluate expected battery life based on parameters such as:
-
Transmission modes
-
Network configuration (including LoRaWAN)
-
LED activation duration
The tool is also accessible via a QR code included in our technical documentation, making it easy to calculate expected autonomy for each LoRaWAN product configuration.
With this estimator, users can better plan deployments, optimize device settings, and ensure long-term operational performance.
A commitment to environmental sustainability
Designing long-lasting sensor devices directly supports environmental responsibility. By reducing the frequency of battery replacements and device renewals, we help minimize electronic waste.
Fewer replacements mean less discarded material and a reduced overall environmental footprint. Every Nexelec product is developed with durability in mind to limit maintenance requirements and extend operational life.
By prioritizing highly durable, energy-efficient solutions, Nexelec delivers products that combine performance, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
