The general consensus among X5 users is that it's better to charge the battery when Rockbox is not running.

Hmmm, so playing X5 while in AC, even when 100% charged might be dangeroud ? :-(


--- Quote ---Yes. The X5L has two standard batteries in it and has a bigger/thicker case (same as a 60GB X5). You can convert a 60GB X5 to an X5L by substituting a smaller hardrive and putting in a second battery. Likewise you can convert an X5L to a 60GB X5 by removing one battery and installing a larger 60GB drive.

Is the connection of batteries standard? In other words, may there be found some 3rd-party equivalent, that would be both slim and longplaying ? :-)


--- Quote ---Perhaps i chanced to set worng accumulator capacity ? But what is the correct value and can't rockBox detect it itself ?
--- End quote ---

X5 = 950mAh
X5L = 2250mAh

Rockbox does not autodetect the capacity (to my knowledge that's not possible).

Guess, Rockbox is better to have "Default" menu in that entry, that would lead to device-specific thingie.
For X5 there should be told something like:

"Rockbox cannot detect if You have X5 or X5L device.
If You do have X5L, set the 2250mAh value.
If You do have X5, set the 950mAh value."
