Battery completely dies after less than a day

Hello all,

I'm a newbie to the forums, but not to Rockbox. Wondering if anyone has a tip for me.

I own an iRiver H340. Have had it for probably 5 years. I was on an ancient version of Rockbox (probably from 3 to 4 years ago) and whenever the I powered off the device, the battery would still last for weeks at a time.

After upgrading to .12, the battery started dying as if I has it turned on always. Every time I let it sit for a day, it is totally dead and I have to plug the charger in for at least a minute before it will even power on. I bought a new high capacity battery thinking my battery was just funky (it wasn't the original, but a high capacity one also).

Just recently updated to .13 hoping it was just a software bug, but no dice, so new batter and newer version didn't help.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for checking out my post!

What device?

Anyway, generally speaking, if the player is off then rockbox is not running and we can't do much if you aren't running our software.  Is your device off?

I edited my response when I realized I forgot to include the device. Sorry about that.

It's the iRiver H340. I just wondered if there was a difference in the way it goes to sleep vs. shutting down in newer versions than previously. I might try to track down the version I was on previously to see if it acts the same way, but wanted to find out if there a setting I could look at that might be causing it to act this way. Even the original battery that came with the device lasted longer than what this is doing.

Thanks for checking it out! Have a wonderful week.

There is actually no way to go to "sleep" in rockbox.  The device is either on or off.

Thanks for the info. I'll try another new battery.
