Battery Utilization observations/questions --- (not again!!!!)
wesderby:
Hmmm...Looks like I may have to do a third test. Currently, I'm running a test to see if having speech enabled or disabled impacts the battery cycle...I may also have to try one or the other or both with all possible factory settings turned off and see what happens...Hopefully, this will prove useful.
pondlife:
Having speech enabled will currently result in the CPU being boosted at all times (see bug report at http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/7447), and hence lower battery life.

It appears from test #1 (ipod settings set to off) and using Sony EX90LP as a load, and a slight bass and treble boost (normal listening conditions for me) and repeating The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" over and over, the battery lasted 12h 1m 19s.
From what I've been reading on the forum, this is pretty good time (stock battery, low mileage).
TexasRockbox:
Booted into "ipod-mode", reset to defaults. As a test I changed one of the settings, ran reset to default again, and the setting changed back to default. Ok there. I rebooted into "Rockbox-mode"and let it charge up a couple of hours (not quite full yet) and took a quick peek at the time remaining while playing a song and it showed 12h (cant recall)m remaining on the battery. Hmmmm.... Will run battery test #2 as soon as full.

This reported time is inaccurate, means nothing, and is beyond worthless.
Seriously, ignore what the WPS says. It has no bearing on the conversation and only adds to the jumble of numbers floating around.
I hope your prior report:

came from a battery bench file, not from the WPS.
