iRiver radio battery consumption

[riksweeney]

I have started a new job and much to my dismay have found out they block all streaming media so I'll have to listen to the radio via my iRiver H120. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the battery consumption is like when just using the radio. My player was very low on power when I used it earlier and it went flat so I didn't really get an idea of what it'd be like.

If no one knows I'll post my results tomorrow after work.

Since the hard drive doesn't spin up and the CPU is barely used, probably a lot better then playing mp3s.

OK, thanks. I'll see what happens tomorrow and post the results.

Edit:

After about 7 hours continuous usage I have a bit more than 50% of the battery left, which is good enough for me since I don't want to be recharging it every single night.
