Battery life/charging on my Sansa e200?

<< < (3/3)

MarcGuay:
Please attach it to a message and answer my question regarding the revision number.  "Pressing" the config.cfg file will simply load the configuration settings.

Chronon:
Connect via USB and save it to your computer.  Then you can upload it here.

I'm also curious whether the "3 day" estimate you gave for the original firmware is recent.  

origami0706:
The number is r18342-080825.
And the 3 day battery life thing was pretty recent.
It was from 1 week ago.

EDIT: I attached config.cfg!

It's possible that you're simply playing around with it more while exploring the features of Rockbox.

Your configuration options look fine.  I'd chalk the lower battery life up to either my point above or the possibility that you're not charging the battery properly (use the Sansa firmware).  I noticed you posted elsewhere that you use it in the car, presumably plugged into the lighter slot, and being powered from that.  Given that the e200 doesn't charge while Rockbox is running, this could be the explanation for lowered battery life - you're used to having it being powered while plugged in.

Could someone clarify what it does with the power it pulls from a charger?  Does it power the unit but not charge the battery, or do nothing at all?

origami0706:
I charge my Sansa using the usb cable, and it charges in the "Sansa mode."
Thanks for all the help! It's great knowing that there's nothing wrong with my Sansa (whew!)
