Battery is getting eaten FAST

(1/4) > >>

I got my Fuze V1 yesterday and tried to install rockbox on it, but it wasn't letting me do the automatic install, so I used a video tutorial on a very easy manual install. Anyway, After it was installed it was charged at 100% and after about 4-6 hours of use it was down to 26%. It seems to deplete the least amount of battery in hold mode, which is about a percent every 5-10 minutes. It would deplete faster just listening to music and showing the nowplaying screen. It depleted the fastest while playing GBC games, about a percent every minute.

Is this rockbox, or could it be a faulty battery?

Yea but it's about half of what it's supposed to be on rockbox. It says over 11 hours for RB. Thanks for the reply though, and I'll update later to see if I just needed to charge fully a few times.

The batteries are not all exactly the same.

Also rockboy needs to boost the CPU for the games to be realtime so the battery will deplete much faster.

Unless specified the times given on SansaRuntime are when playing music and screen off.

Ok that makes much more sense. Thanks!
