How do I calculate the battery life of ESP8266-based products?
LDOs drop power,infact it depends on who much current is drawn. If V1 is input voltage and V2 is output, the power loss is (V1-V2) x I + (V1 x Iquiscent)
so LDOs suit apps drawing low current and lower voltage drop band.
This calculated, you can arrive at the battery life adding MCU power consumption(very dynamic depending on power modes, peripherals used etc). Common one is LM1117 and they come in both fixed and adjustable versions.
