IPOD 5G 60GB battery life / capacity

<< < (2/2)

soap:
soundavinci - Were you viewing the remaining percentage or a calculated estimated remaining time?
If the former...how old is your iPod battery?

soundavinci:
I view it on the WPS...

I have a brand new (4 weeks old) IPOD.

I'm using the latest EvilG fusion build.

So I see a baterry life around 6 to 7h,

my problem is only, that the wps tells my something about 6h and a second later RB stops, shows a swimming LCD and I have a knick/knack on my headphones without warning me on low energy.

If this is normal, OK, RB brings so much advance for my, I love it...

You did a very good job...

soap:
The remaining time calculations on the ipods is not very accurate, though I am surprised it is that far off.  Modifying a WPS so that it displays battery percentage instead of battery time should be a pretty easy fix.

The percentage displayed should be quite good (by comparison at least.)

soundavinci:
Thanks soap,

I changed the wps to % for baterry,

but whats about my concern that RB don't highlight a empty baterry,

or I'm easily to stupid to see it ??

soap:
You are correct on that front.
Rockbox stops playing when the Apple hardware stops responding ;)
Low battery shutdown on (at least) the iPods is not graceful.
