Dec 10, 2022 at 10:00 comment added hcheung LDO stands for Low Dropout Output, refer to the regulator that convert the input voltage to 3.3v on your board. Typical Chinese made ESP32 boards or ESP8266 boards do not have good LDO, they designed for powering via USB.
Dec 10, 2022 at 9:53 comment added Basj Thanks @hcheung. What is "LDO"? Do you know standard consumer level ESP32 (easy to find on popular shops) that have good battery-operation?
Dec 10, 2022 at 9:38 comment added hcheung You need to do some measurement and calculate it yourself. As different boards may use different components, particularly the on-board LDO may not be designed for deep sleep application and has leakage current during deep sleep. If you can't design your own board, then look for those specially designed for battery-operation.
Dec 10, 2022 at 9:25 comment added Basj Thank you @hcheung for your answer. Do you know how much power it takes to do wake up + connection to Wifi (2 secondes) + send a single HTTP request (a few bytes to send) + go to deep sleep ? Do you think 200 mA * 3 seconds = 0.17 mAh is the right order of magnitude ? So it could be done ~6000 times on 3 AA batteries ? (I don't have equipment to do more precision measurement)
