The latest versions of Rockbox include a battery test routine. You basically charge your cells up, start this plugin, and wait...!
It simulates reading a 128kbs MP3 file, and keeps a log of battery life remaining, along with a timestamp, untill the remaining battery is 4%
I ran it several times and got a value of about 9.5 hours each time - the delay is an amazingly straight line, but the time is way too short compaired to other peoples units. So tonight I dismantled the box, and checked the battery contacts etc... I have now started another run of the test, if this gives similar figures, I may have a failing battery :(
Oh what the heck... I have just ordered a 2800 mAh replacement battery from www.newmp3technology.com, with the current good exchange rate it works out at less that £22 delivered!
