Yea I think I should, I started using it a long time ago, but now I don't see the point, but still use it for some reason. :P New bench coming up after it charges.
Llorean:
One of the biggest possible drains on any player we support pretty much is "turning on the backlight", so I wouldn't be surprised if you see a quite measurable gain doing a new bench with it disabled.

I got 18hrs on the second batch of iPod batteries I got but I have ordered some more of the first batteries I got which show a benchmark of 25hrs.
Madcow,
Do you have the AC adapter for your gigabeat or do you use the USB to charge it?
Also I didn't see the below post, I bent the 4 corners out or away from the player.

Mad Cow:
I always use the AC adaptor, I only use USB if I don't have anything else. I'm running a new battery bench right now without caption backlight, and it seems to be doing much better, hopefully I'll get 25h. ;D

I ordered some more batteries from the same person I got the first (25hr) one from. Check them out if your interested.
