Gigabeat F replacement battery
jac0b:
Madcow,
Is that battery lasting or close lasting as long as the battery benchmark I posted?
These 2 batteries I just got are lasting around 18hrs but the first one I got lasts about 25hrs and they both say 1200mah.
Could it be the PCB or is it just a fake 1200mah battery thats really 900/1000mah?
Mad Cow:
I don't know yet, I think something went wrong somewhere along the shipping route, still haven't got it yet.
Mad Cow:
Just got it today, soldered on the original wires/connector, it's charing right now. I'll do a battery bench tomorrow. The hardest part about the whole thing was fitting the thicker battery into my dented, busted up case. :D
jac0b:
Yeah the iPod batteries are definitely thicker than the OE gigabeat batteries.
Can't wait to see your benchmarks to see if they are comparable to the first iPod battery or the second one I got.
Mad Cow:
Does you touchpad work weirdly with this new battery? On mine, the up part of the cross isn't as responsive as the other parts, and it sticks a bit if I hold it down for more than a second. I'm thinking it's the case, but I'm not sure.
