Sansa Clip V1 Battery discharging with Rockbox.

(1/3) > >>

cpnfantstk:
I recently purchased a sansa clip and immediately installed Rockbox with a current build. I notice that overnight the battery discharged from 100 percent to 50 percent in a matter of 24 hours. Has that been an issue with Clip V1 and rockbox ? If so, any solutions ? Thanks.

Chronon:
Battery life is known to be worse than the original firmware (not sure if this is what you're implying).  This is often the case with new ports.  It is generally the case for mature ports that they consume less battery than the original firmware.

I just came upon this thread after searching because I have the same problem as the OP, except I have a Sansa e260 v1.  I've noticed that ever since I reinstalled Rockbox 3.6 (I had to reinstall because I had to format the player for having a corrupt file system), the battery has been almost completely discharging overnight while the player is turned off even though I fully charged it before going to sleep.  This didn't happen with my original installation of 3.6, and even though I haven't actually tested the battery life, the low battery warning appears in both the original firmware and in Rockbox, so I don't think it's a calibration issue.

Probably a bad battery.

I didn't have this problem until literally right after I reinstalled Rockbox two days ago though.  The battery life was fine when I still had the old Rockbox install, and then the morning after I formatted and reinstalled, I noticed that the battery was almost completely drained.
