Sansa Fuze - Battery Usage Optimization

[sadzior]

sup guys

i just wanted to ask you for some further tips on how to prolong the batter life.

So far i have:

-reduced the brightness to +/- 30%

-turned off clickwheel light

-set "screen light stays on" (i dont remember how exactly is that thing called) on 3 sec

any other ideas?

Thanks in advance

None of the settings are likely to have a significant impact on the Fuze.

so you are telling me that i can set the screen to be on all the time and the battery life won't differ significantly? that's odd

No I'm saying none of the things you listed will improve it much.

so there's nothing i can do?

How long do you NEED it to last?
 
I am confused by so much discussion about Rockbox battery life. At worst I get 7-8 hours out of it. Which is far more then I need in one day.

Well we'd at least like it to last longer then the sandisk firmware.

I would be happy if it lasted somewhere near OF since the device obviously has such capacity. That's all.

totally agreed on that
