Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
Does it make a difference to how Rockbox handles power management, or is it only important for displaying the charge level?
As far as I know we should be about equal or better on all iPods these days. My iPod Video (with my settings) lasts for ~4 hours longer in Rockbox than in the OF
See http://download.rockbox.org/daily/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch8.html#x11-1430008.4 and turn on "Sleep (after backlight off)", so that it will turn the LCD screen off entirely when it's not being used, instead of just the backlight.That's the only setting that makes a really big difference to battery life, if you use cheap codecs like MP3. If you use an expensive codec, turning off DSP effects (like the equaliser, crossfeed, etc) will help too, but there's plenty of CPU time free to do these effects with MP3s.
