        Hi 535newg36!

        Well there are batteries out there at the moment that are roughly the size I’d like to make mine (or maybe a small bit larger) and they provide 5uAh (or 0.000005Ah) of power.

        Comparing this to a phone battery which has 2600mAh (0r 2.6Ah) the battery I am trying to make will have a lot less power. That is ok though because my battery would be much smaller (1mm or less) so my aim is to make my battery make it more powerful than 5uAh.

        Maybe if I could get it to 5mAh (or 0.005Ah) I would be happy because smaller batteries will always have less power, but for the sensors I will be putting my batteries into 5mAh is more than enough power!
