Model-based determination of power source replacement in wireless and other devices

A method comprising:

• receiving data associated with a power source and with a device associated with the power source;
• and
• predicting an operating life of the power source from the received data by modeling real-time power consumption of the device using at least one of:
• a logarithmic curve fitting method and an exponential curve fitting method;
• wherein the data associated with the power source and the device comprises historical data and
• wherein modeling the real-time power consumption of the device comprises applying at least one of the logarithmic curve fitting method and the exponential curve fitting method to the historical data to predict the operating life of the power source.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code for:

• correlating data associated with a power source and with a device associated with the power source;
• and
• predicting an operating life of the power source using the correlated data by modeling real-time power consumption of the device using at least one of:
• a logarithmic curve fitting method and an exponential curve fitting method;
• wherein the data associated with the power source and the device comprises historical data;
• and
• wherein the computer readable program code for modeling the real-time power consumption of the device comprises computer readable program code for applying at least one of the logarithmic curve fitting method and the exponential curve fitting method to the historical data to predict the operating life of the power source.
