iPod Battery Capacity
« on: January 20, 2007, 04:25:08 PM »
From the iPod Battery info page The capacity ranges from 220 mAh to
1230 mAh

Could the general settings for battery be altered to cover this range

Current minimum is 1300 mAh So no iPod is covered :(

Changing the battery capacity in General Settings only affects the predicted runtime.  Runtime is not predicted well/correctly on the iPods currently, so setting the capacity to a real world number will accomplish nothing.

Well, if it is pretty accurate now...lowering the "capacity" value will lower the predicted runtime... ;D

Rockbox doesn't just run on iPods.

Oh, yes

"You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.
A hospital? What is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now. "

Hahaha, good times. I actually own that movie on DVD; one of three I own right now.

Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.
Captain Oveur: Roger!
Roger Murdock: Huh?
Victor Basta: Request vector, over.
Captain Oveur: What?
Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
