Calculating Power consumption of RTC

HI I am designing a battery backup circuit for PCF8583 RTC. The datasheet gives the following info

supply current
(clock mode)
VDD = 5 V 10uA(Typical) 50 uA(max)
VDD = 1 V 2uA(Typical) 10 uA(max)

Typical condition Temp = 25 deg C

I am operating the RTC from 3 V battery.

How could I calculate the power consumption? Is there any formula or method to calculate the power consumption?


Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.
You should consider the data for 5V, for safety. Then, the power consumption would be:
P = V x I, being V = 3V and I the current for 5V

Hope it helps!
