Battery bench and Rockboy

(1/1)

GarrettGoesBoom:
I just did a battery bench test with letting the test run from full battery to dead on its own and with a large playlist to figure out the max time I'm getting from it with music. I'm trying to figure out how my battery fair on my other uses with it also though... I know that the battery bench testing cannot run in tandom with other pluggins, but what are some other good ideas to test it with other than just letting it run through a playlist (I use the rockboy alot for playing gameboy games, but I think the Rockboy is a pluggin so thus can't be run with the battery bench)... any ideas?

bascule:
You could do another run with the backlight permanently on, or perhaps to be a bit more realistic, with 'Caption Backlight' set (which turns on the backlight for a few seconds either side of a track change).

Plus use a graphically intensive WPS, preferably with a peak meter.

There's not much else you can run that simulates usage without actually using it...

robin0800:
Do you realy need to run battery bench to get a running time?
Just note start time, play gameboy games until player dies and note time.

That isn't indicative of typical battery life though.  All that tells you is how long the battery will last while playing Gameboy games, and not playing music.

That said, you don't really have to use battery bench, but if you don't, you will have to keep watch over it with a stopwatch,

It was more for seeing the info on a graph, because I kinda wanted to tell how the power consumption faired when rockboy was active.
