Battery "settings" in H320+rockbox

<< < (2/2)

Febs:
If you want a guide, there is a very good one in the H300 FAQ section at misticriver.net.

I mean, you've already admitted you thought the estimate was realistic, but have you timed a full cycle of the battery to see if the low one is valid?

The battery drops a good 25% a day when playing back a mix of mp3's and flac's.  Is it possible for the battery to lose some of its charge if the H320 sat in a warehouse for an extended period of time?  

Hmm...is rockbox to the point where it doesn't eat up battery life on the H320?  Not sure where it stands in terms of battery life.  Maybe I should run a test this weekend with mp3's on repeat and see how many hrs I squeeze out of a full charge on rockbox vs. iriver's firmware.

edit:   thanks for the tip Febs!

Febs:
1.  Rockbox gets better battery life than the original firmware on the H300.

2.  Yes, the battery can lose capacity by sitting unused.  You can get additional information from http://www.batteryuniversity.com.

3.  You can use the Battery Bench plug-in to test your battery life.
