Nodes in a mobile ad hoc network have limited battery power. If a node is used frequently for transmission or overhearing of data packets, more energy is consumed by that node and after certain amount of time the energy level may not be sufficient for data transmission resulting in link failure. In this paper, we have considered two routing protocols-Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) & Minimum Maximum Battery cost Routing (MMBCR) and studied their performances in terms of network lifetime for the same network scenario. Simulations are carried out using NS2. Finally from the simulation results we have concluded that MMBCR gives more network lifetime by selecting route with maximum battery capacity thereby outperforming DSR.
