Gigabeat F replacement battery
Mad Cow:
That looks the same as my battery, I bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=270166276052&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=017

Madcow,
I think the one you got is a knock off of mine. Yours doesn't have the logo in the bottom right like the one I got. I researched my battery and found out it is made by Cameron Sino. Maybe that is why mine lasts 25hrs and yours is lasting 14hrs. I will see when the other 2 I got come in, which are the same (25hr battery) kind from the same person.
Mad Cow:
Mine's a CameronSino too, it does have that logo. Also, the battery bench just finished, after 12 hours. ??? This makes absolutely no sense. So battery life is 2 hours shorter without caption backlight?
jac0b:
That is pretty weird then. Hopefully the 2 batteries I ordered don't have the same problem.
Mad Cow:
Well I found the problem, for some reason it discharges really quickly, even when it's not being used. It might be because the metal case somehow touched something metal because I used the original heatshrink wrapping and it didn't cover everything. I wrapped the battery in teflon tape now, hopefully that'll help.
