I've noticed on mine it stays in the red, but never actually dies.
It jumps up to half, then down to red, then quarter the way full then red, etc.

I noticed that with the original firmware AND rockbox but i thought with rockbox it drops faster. I think i'll give the Fuze with rockbox a last try in every day use and hope that the battery will last long enough.

Looking at the heat the player produces all the time in my opinion this is really understandable. Now I ordered a Clip+. If you see any chance that another Fuze will work better, is maybe I'll buy another Fuze but at the moment I don't want to risk buying another player not working with rockbox.

I believe I found out what the heat was creating. It was the sdhc card ich had put in. Without this card the player gets cooler if the display is off.
Any ideas what I can do about this? I need the 16GB card. Might there be any rockbox version which works with sdhc cards properly?
Chronon:
What revision are you using? There was a recent commit having to do with SD handling for AMSv2 players (including the Fuze v2).

I'm using a refurbished V2 with the newest firmware.
What do you mean with AMSv2? I now bought a new Clip+ and everythink seems to work fine so far :)
yapper:
A V2 is an AMSv2.
Chronon was referring to the revision of Rockbox - are you running release 3.8, or a current build? If you were running 3.8, try a current build instead.
