EEVblog 1533 - How To Estimate Product Battery Life

How to estimate the battery life of a product. In this example, the BM786 multimeter. How to measure battery current accurately, avoiding Burden voltage, and looking at battery datasheets characteristic curves. The difference between alkaline and lithium primary batteries.
