3Hrs on iPod video 30Gb??

<< < (2/2)

strykr:
well with the normal firmware i get *i think* 10hrs with music and 21/2 - 3hrs with videos.

I got this iPod about this time last year.. maybe a year ago and a month.. so it doesnt make too much sense why some people get "10hrs" and i only get 3.

The battery works great when on the original firmware.

scorche:
"I think" isn't quite good enough.  if you are going to compare, use the same files in a playlist on both firmwares and use battery_bench with Rockbox, and a stopwatch with the OF.

strykr:
Okay.
At the Rockbox Info setting page i am now reading:

Battery: 91% 7h and 15min.

Although it seems that this may be off alot, because my ipod turns off after only 3 hrs after being fully charged. I am going to do a stress test tomorrow to see how long it lasts playing doom and also a test playing a song on repeat.

Febs:
If you want to do a proper test, follow the instructions here:

I strongly recommend that (a) you use the battery_bench plugin, and (b) you do your benchmark playing music, NOT Doom.
