I've seen a few similar posts about non-accurate battery times (on iRivers I believe) but I wanted to post this one for the c200 and e200 series. When plugged into AC, the numerical Battery meter reads 100% with a plugged in icon. After unplugging, the battery meter drains down to about 75% and, for a c200, lists the battery life as being just over 5 hours. Given that I have listened to music for well over that 5 hours, this could be a bug. Similar symptons on a coworkers e200. I can guarantee that the battey itself is at full charge because it charges and runs off of AC power nearly all of time I use it. This doesn't seem to affect the battery life itself, but it is misleading. Thanks for your help and for Rockbox.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Sansa battery readings are much more accurate since the power consumption fixes. And the charging showing 100% then dropping/not holding a charge issue is a dupe of FS#7320.

this stuff simply isn't ready yet, be patient.
