Your camera battery may not be able to withstand a long term Time-Lapse
without being powered by an AC adapter. However, you can minimize camera
power draw by enabling automatic meter-off timeout in your camera settings.
The camera will then go to sleep between Time-Lapse shots. When needed, Pluto
Trigger will wake it up and continue its work. With a properly chosen camera
meter time-out, you may be able to run hundreds of frames through your camera
before its battery is depleted.

You can turn off Bluetooth module of Pluto Trigger after a long Time-Lapse

Pluto Trigger for 5 seconds. The downside is that you will not be able to check the
progress of the Time-Lapse sequence.

If you plan on running Time-Lapse sequences for more than a day, you may want
to power your Pluto Trigger from the USB charger. Unlike camera, your Pluto
Trigger cannot afford to sleep between Time-Lapse sequences, and thus requires
a source of external power for long Time-Lapse sessions.
