The problem as I see it is that accelerated testing a battery using higher discharge currents probably isn't going to tell you much. The actual application current is so low that it's affected by factors other than simply the Ah rating. The 10uA curve http://www.tadiranbat.com/pdf/tl-2150.pdf is going to be a good guide, IMHO Possibly you might get some idea by investigating products that use that level of current. For example, RTCC chips in PCs. How much current do they use and how long does a battery last ? It's going to be less than 3uA, perhaps 5-6 years, and maybe a guesstimate can put your product longevity between RTCC chips and the 10uA plot I think you should also be definitely seeking manufacturer's advice -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
