How come when using the apple os and no other os but rockbox is installed on my ipod the battery dies within 3 hours and not 6 like said for ipod video.

There are still some things you can test to see what the problem is.

How is *your* battery when there is no bootloader installed?

First do a good test repeating a video while you have the bootloader installed and time it.

Then try doing a restore, then playing the same video until the battery is dead, and timing it.

Now when you compare those times you will have a good test of the effect of the bootloader on battery life.

We have no indication of this at all.
