Hi Mike, Normally, bluetooth devices are designed for low power and battery operated. I am using the CSR bluetooth chipset (http://www.csr.com). It can work as standalone (microcontroller/VM mode), controlled thru serial HCI interface (H4) or USB (H2). It only consumes 500uA ACL connected on Sniff mode. Deep sleep mode consumes about 15uA. Full speed ACL transfer rate at 720kbps consumes 61mA, 15mA at 115.2Kbps. The device power supply volage is only 3V.
