If Rockbox relies on a hard-coded value for the capacity, charging could get ugly if the battery is replaced with one that has less capacity. Or as Dell laptop owners like to say, "Boom!" Makes me glad the Sansa e200 code uses the original firmware for charging. -- Mark AllumsReceived on 2008-05-06 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
