I designed a ESP32 and made sure the device runs on low power mode whenever not necessary and was successfully able to reduce the average current consumption to less than 10mA. To run the setup I used a 18650 Li-ion battery and a boost convertor to 5V of the ESP32. I calculated the device to run fo…

Boost convertor consuming lot of Power

I use this regulator to power the ESP32 from a single 18650 cell:

The quiescent current is 200 uA maximum, when enabled.
