gigabeat F battery indicator is inaccurate.

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
So, how do you know it has enough power to run Rockbox then?

It's true though that the battery indicator still needs more calibration. I think it stays at 100% for too long as well.

Soaa-:
A second earlier it was playing music with the battery indicator at 0.  It was running at 0 for at least an hour.

Llorean:
That's hardly conclusive proof of anything. Rebooting takes power, to spin up the disk and load the firmware images, so your device would've had less power after the reboot than before.

It's possible, though not certain, that your device really did not have enough power to work consistently at that point.

Soaa-:
I see.  Figuring out exactly what's going on would require more in-depth tests then?

Llorean:
The battery just needs to be calibrated properly.
