custom battery limits on ipod video 30gb (32mb) board

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
Larger capacity batteries should still fully charge under either firmware, as far as I know. The capacity shouldn't affect the voltage considered "full."

qusp:
hmmm; perhaps i'm just not being patient enough. al;though its been charhing on and off all day. but it is the first charge and the battery is supplied totally empty; if this doesnt work i'll try plugged into a wall charger to finish it, perhaps the voltage supplied via USB is insufficient (although not through a hub, but a full powered USB port should be enough I would think)

update: the ipod just reached full 100% charge through RB FW :D so perhaps there is some issue there in the apple FW as it has been charging all day pretty much and after not 10-20 mins in RB charge I have a full 950mah charge on my ipod yay!!! :does little jig in honor of the lithion god:

Llorean:
I think the problem may be that you're trusting the percentage too much. How is the runtime?

qusp:
check my edited post; the battery has just now reached 100% through RB FW charge in 10-20minute!!. no idea of the runtime; only just got the battery today and this is the first charge from empty. wanted to get it to full before running it for the first time. I realize lithions are supposed to be immune to the memory effect, but the packaging actually instructs you to charge it fully the first couple times. so who am I to argue with Cameron Sino
