This page is meant to be a database of people's runtimes as reported by the battery benchmark plugin. The plan is that people will upload their results, so they can be compared, and hopefully be useful to the Rockbox community in one way or another (plus I ran the test myself, wanted to visualise it and thought it might be fun to do some graph-creation in PHP).
If you want to run such a test, I suggest you look in the Rockbox wiki, particularly the BatteryRuntime and PluginBatteryBenchmark pages.

| 2008-06-28 | FronK | Unit: 2.5 year old iAudio X5V 20GB. Music played: Looping ~200kbit VBR mp3 albums on pretty much default Rockbox settings. Switched album ever 2-4 hours, 3 different albums played. Other info: I was having problem with battery only giving me about 2 hours of played time even after a full recharge. Installed Rockbox, ran the player until battery dead, recharged to full and ran the battery_benchmark plugin, and somehow I got 8+ hours of playtime, not sure why. |
