Question about battery life on my iPod

(1/4) > >>

duayne:
i played my ipod 5th gen for 3 hours and the battery died already... :(

original battery life is 10-12 hours right? but rockbox can only play for 3 hours..

if this is the case, i might uninstall rockbox.. :( and just go with ipod wizard..

are your rockbox battery life same as mine too?

need feedback pls. thanks..

duayne:
follow up question...

rockbox have dual boot right? i can boot rockbox firmware and the original apple firmware..

if i choose to boot the apple firmware, will my battery life go back to 10-12 hours again? (i think it will go back to 12 hours coz the ipod is not running rockbox w/c is a battery hog) but im not sure though.. need your input.

thanks...

P.S.  i seem to cannot find the rockbox uninstallation page in the wiki. care to give a link? thanks.

Febs:
I get approximately 9 hours of playback from a full charge with my 5G.

You can find uninstallation instructions in Chapter 2 of the Rockbox Manual.

knight4led:
Matters which 5g you have. The 60gig model is listed with a higher battery life because as far as I know the battery itself if higher capacity and it has a larger cache.

duayne:
@ Febs
