@oric_dan(333) : That is incredible -- how did using a 32-Khz xtal reduce the current draw that much? I'm curious what the exact numbers are on the current draw that you measured.
oric_dan(333):
I have used the 9V in dataloggers with 32-Khz xtal. At that rate, it will run for about 30,000 hours or
about 3 years. That makes more sense.
