I'm thinking about using a 1000mAh Polymer Lithium Ion Battery to power a project.
The components on the board work down to 3.0V.
I can use a MIC5307 3V regulator that has a drop-out voltage of only 40mV at 100mA.
I looked at the data sheet for the battery and I don't see a real discharge curve except that it states that the "Discharge cut-off Voltage" is 2.75 V.
How usable would the battery be if I only use it down to ~3.1V? Would I leave a lot of capacity unused?
Thanks,
