  • Since the data on this page is supposed to be used for calibrating battery level meters (as I understood) I changed the table so that more data is available. I used IriverRuntime as model - it might be good to agree on some typical settings - at least the same or similar quality of music files and one codec. I don't own a Gigabeat but I think these hints could be useful. MarianneArnold (14 Jan 2007)
