This paper proposes amulti path battery aware routing protocol, namely,MBA-OLSR, based onOLSRv2 and its multi path extension.\nThe proposed approach considers the remaining battery energy of the nodes for calculating the initial cost of the multiple links\nbetween source-destination pairs. The MBA-OLSR aims to construct energy efficient routes and extend the network lifetime to\navoid network failure due to battery exhaustion. The protocol performance is evaluated in different simulation scenarios of wireless\nmobile ad hoc networks(MANETs) environment. The simulation results demonstrate that our approach can achieve longer network\nlifetime and lower energy cost per packet. In addition, the results show improvement in terms of packet delivery ratio and end-toend\ndelay.
