Battery is getting eaten FAST

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

Not to mention that the backlight will be on, which is the biggest consumer of battery.

That's what I was starting to think... Would making brightness darker and making the black light timer to about 5 seconds increase battery life?
funman:
Yes, but it depends how much time you have the backlight active of course.
5 seconds with backlight at maximum brightness won't be much different from 5 seconds with minimum brightness or 1 minute with maximum brightness, if the player runs with the backlight off for 14 hours.

let me tell you what i did to improve my fuze v1 battery life
-everytime i plug in my fuze to upload some music, i install the current release of RB (check the manual). Sometimes it improves the battery life significantly
-turn the brightness of the screen to 50% or less (the less, the better)
-turn off the crossfeed function - it barely makes a difference on regular headphones, but it eats the battery like a mad man (at least on mine)
-delete all games so that you wont get tempted ;)
-get some good headphones that will suppress the external sounds like traffic etc, therefore you will be able to turn the volume down and save the battery
Hope i helped
