The usage pattern you describe (EQ and Crossfeed) will have a noticeable impact on battery life, but you should be getting multiple times the battery life you are reporting. I suggest two things: 1 - Clear your settings and see if battery runtime improves. I doubt it will - but I think this is a safe and easy first test. 2 - Assuming battery life hasn't improved drastically as a result of step one I think you need to test the battery life in the Apple Firmware. If my hunch is right, and your battery has failed, you should see ~3 hours of battery life - a simple test. -Soap Received on 2008-02-13 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
