Adding up the maximum currents for the components for each state I got:
- Sleep: ~20uA
- GPS on: 34mA
- Tx: 45mA
- Rx: 15mA
On measurement things improve a little:
- Sleep: ~9uA
- GPS on: 35mA
- Tx: 33mA
- Rx: 14mA
Using a 400mAh battery, keeping the GPS off and sending one uplink every 15 minutes should give ~130 days of battery life on 80% of the battery charge.
