Improve battery life on Fuzev1

(1/3) > >>

seamoon:
With new firmware 2010-09-05: Improve battery life on Sandisk Fuzev1. But how much the improvement? According 2010-09-05: it's 14h 44min but this firmware is new and I wonder how long will it last with vbr mp3 playback.

tpijag:
Would think that the only way to have an accurate number would be to test on your specific unit. Trivial with included battery test capability.

seamoon:
I'll test it but http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaRuntime page should be updated according the new firmware.

Chronon:
It's a wiki: Feel free to post your results after you test your unit.

matthew1:
Why is the battery life using Rockbox so much less than the Sansa firmware (Sansa Fuze v1)?
I get approx 24.5 hours using Sansa firmware but approx 14 hours using Rockbox.
Tested using same 128kbps MP3 album on repeat, volume at middle (similar to my ears), and phones plugged in.
