iRiver radio battery consumption

(1/1)

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.

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

riksweeney:
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.
