iPod Electric charger

<< < (2/3) > >>

Chronon:
The battery meter while charging is known to be inaccurate.  I think you need to remove the cable before Rockbox will give you an accurate reading.

Edit: I'm taking this statement from my time as a former iPod owner.  I looked for corroborating statements on the forums, but couldn't easily find any.  Is this still true?

eekhoornstaartlolly:
A corroborating statement about the unaccurate reading of rockbox? don't know really :S

though thanks for the help, I will keep it in mind and plug it out a bit earlier before fully charged to make sure.

EDIT: BTW, my ipod is still acting strange.... i left it to charge and on the percentage of the battery, it recharged untill 77 % I disconnected it and when I restarted rockbox, it was on 56.... is this still because of the unaccurate reading?

Chronon:
It probably wasn't actually at 77% when you disconnected it.  Any more detailed information should probably come from someone who has one of these players currently. 

Sambolina3:
In my experience with the ipods is that its normal to plug them in and for the battery readings to continually fluctuate, they don't seem to become accurate until it is fully charged.

dreamlayers:
I've never really paid attention to the battery meter when charging.  The battery voltage however is accurate, and it clearly demonstrates charging with lithium-based rechargeables.
