battery life on 5th gen ipod /w rockbox

<< < (2/2)

TexasRockbox:
There have been increases in battery life and I'm quite happy with the length of time.  It's been a long time since I did a battery benchmark but the (still inaccurate?) battery indication seems to be taking longer times to drop down to a prior level.  So, if the indication is inaccurate, it's consistently inaccurrate, right?  ;)

Great, but without you doing a test under exactly the same conditions in the original firmware, this statement isn't much use.

Hu? Sorry if I misunderstood something but I ran the battery_bench with playing a playlist with ogg-files repeatedly under Rockbox and it stopped after 18 hours ... isn't that what the OP was asking? If not I apologize and go back in my corner ...

Febs:
I think that BigBambi's point is simply that your test tells you only what sort of battery performance you get in Rockbox.  While this may indeed be useful to the original poster, it doesn't necessarily answer the question about how Rockbox compares to the original firmware.

(Of course, since the original firmware doesn't support Ogg, it is probably not possible to do a direct comparison anyway.)
