Battery calibration - Sansa c200

<< < (2/3) > >>

Multiplex:
I have a couple of C200 players which I can run the benchmark on if you want a larger data set to average up.

I'm assuming there are instructions somewhere.

They are both fairly new so it may be best to get a few more cycles in before measuring them. And I haven't invested in any Micro SDHC cards yet - that might be a consideration.

Just holler...

there is another issue - i cannot make complete benchmark - i tried twice in this way - it runs from 100% to about 50-60% and log file ends with 6-7 hours in column "Time left" - another words, it have logged about 5-6 hours, but really plays about 12... Semi-solution to this problem (my third try) is stopping and resuming battery bench every 2-3 hours, but i think, it affects results... May it be problem of low amount of songs played (about 10MB)?

Now I uploaded about 100MB of music and run fourth bench...

The battery benchmark plugin doesn't work correctly on the sansas. There is a quick hacky solution to it in the tracker - together with a little information to be found in/through the SandiskE200BatteryMeasurements wiki page. The same applies to the c200 as well, you would need to compile your own build with this patch applied.

argh... during the OF test my player just switched off at about 65% of battery :/

I think, that writing down every voltage change may decrease playtime - I have written another patch, and uploaded in that thread: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8070 - now I can finally make proper benchmark for rockbox

Is the log attached with your patch suitable for battery calibration?
