Is there any data available for estimated power drain from Mayfly logging 2-4 sensors once every 5 to 10 minutes- running only on the LiPo battery and without solar recharging?

Hi Marion. If you haven’t received an answer for this yet, you could repost it in the Mayfly forum (http://envirodiy.org/forum/dataloggers/mayfly/). It will reach more people that way, as it will go out in the RSS email.
It really depends on what sensors you’re using. The board uses very little power while sleeping, so all of the power drain you should be concerned about is related to the sensors and how much they draw, how frequently you sample, and how many seconds you have to leave them on in order to take a measurement.
