Is anyone else getting more battery life with the latest versions of Rockbox?

rockboxacdc:
when do you think an update will come out next?

Chronon:
What do you mean?  The code gets modified and rebuilt multiple times each day.

No, they are not conclusive.  Ideally we would have current measurements to see exactly how much power is consumed under what circumstances, but the runtime page gives a good indication that under real world use we approach or surpass the OF for the Sansas (I think I'm correct in including the c200), and do a lot better than we did with the later (not 1st to3rd gen inclusive, which we already did better than the OF) iPods (I'm not sure with the H10 if it is more Sansa like or iPod like w.r.t. runtime).

punchcutter:
Yes, thanks to those responsible... I last upgraded on Feb 13, not knowing about this fix, and my vague sense has been that my battery life has improved...

The power-saving changes have bumped the battery life of my 60 gig ipod photo from 7.5 hours to 11.5 hours.  Of course, both of those are if you never turn the back-lighting on or flip through menus.  It's an amazing improvement though.
