5v*3ah = 15wh.
i have my sensecap t1000e connected to a 5v 20k mAh (20Ah) battery and its been on for 13 days so far and the backup battery is at like 70%.
the nrf52 is super power efficient.
A 15wh battery (5v @3a) should last a min of 7 days easy.
5v*3ah = 15wh.

According to the RAK itself, it's currently using 166.2 mA.

This is way higher than what I've seen people post about online who were using an external power meter. (They're ssying around 6 mA)
If it were to use 166.3 mA for 6 hours, it'd use about 1Ah, which would mean a 3Ah battery would not even last a full day. So I'm not sure where it's getting that number, but I'm highly skeptical.
I wonder if that's because of the difference between being a router versus being just a standard client.
I would say monitor your power usage for a while and take the highest one you see and make a battery set that will last something like 72 hours with the highest draw you see so that you get a good buffer zone.
so 170ma*72hrs = 12,240mah (12.2A) or 5v*12.24a = 61.2wh
