Does Rockbox 3.3 charge Sansa e200 battery now?

[blujay]

I noticed that 3.3 supports USB now; what about charging the battery?  Do I still need to boot into the original firmware to charge the battery, or to charge it faster?

charging has been working for a while now, but the 3.3 release bootloader will still boot the OF if you plug in the cable with the sansa turned off.

There is an official test build of a new bootloader that boots rockbox by default on usb power-up though, and so far it seems ok.

Charging for the Sansas was enabled in January.

I've installed the test bootloader, and charging generally works. But when I charge my Sansa e260 v1 over night, rockbox-info shows a battery status of 93 %. It will never be more, even if the device stays connected one more day. What's that?

Charge your Sansa overnight using the Sansa firmware. Then boot into Rockbox and see what it reports for the battery status, as the issue may be with your battery.

Accidently I just have charged it using the Sansa firmware for some hours today. After booting to rockbox the info shows 99 %. I guess, this should be O.K., but charging with rockbox always ends up at 93 %.

Where does one download the "test bootloader"?
