Very Short Question about overcharging via Rockbox ...

[year98]

Can Rockbox prevent overcharging? By adaptor and USB?

Was it too short???

No, but your thread title was non descriptive of the question, and therefore, not in compliance with our posting guidelines.  I've edited it to comply.  You also may want to specify which hardware platform you're asking about, as charging is not handled the same way on each platform.

Sorry...
I'm not familiar with forum like this place.

i do not develope rockbox, but i do not think that you can overcharge while using it, i do belive that charging is handled by the digital audio player (dap) itself and is not affected by rockbox, when your player is fully charged the amount of power given to the player through the charging cable (usb, A.C or D.C) should only be enough to keep the player on and should bypass the battery completly when it is fully charged.

But i could be completly wrong, you could try doin a search to see if you can find yor answer though

thanks for reply... I tried.
And I found that charging animation is stopped and "100(or full square)" is showed when H320 is fully charged.
Can this be evidence that "rockbox can prevent overcharging"

Rockbox is not involved in the charging on the H300. It is done completely in hardware. Rockbox only monitors the progress and stops the animation when the hardware has finished charging.

how about other players? i'm interested in the ipod mini2G in special...

rockbox dosnt affect any of the hardware of any player. so rockbox cannot overcharge any DAP. basically all rockbox changes is the way the DAP utalizes the hardware.
