Calaban:
Will this patch help with extreemly short battery life? I can only get a few hours out of a full charge.  The orginal firmware has a much longer life.  Most of the time when the battery indicator reaches about 1/2 the unit will just stop playing.

What build are you using?
The current rockbox build will give you more battery life than the original firmware.

The patch mentioned above deals with USB charging.

Calaban:
I'm using Ver. 060717, the only thing I can figure is that my battery is going south. Its dumping prematurely. I only charge it off the adapter.

There is no replacement battery available for it is there?

petur:
Sure, check out misticriver (see icon on your left). It does require you to open up your player and get in touch with the hardware, but guides (with pictures) are available.

Edit by Llorean: Added the 'p' in 'player' to avoid confusion.
