How do I choose an MCU for a battery-powered system design?

What are some guidelines we need to follow when selecting a microcontroller for an IoT device that runs on battery. What should be my consideration. Am currently starting a project on a battery powered device. Thanks.
Solution
Sleep modes, Power-down modes, average static power consumption, current consumption per MHz,

MCU grade = manufacturers help you with naming—ultra-low power in the datasheet would ring a bell, wouldn't it?
