Re: Battery problems with 1.2.6

Brendan,

Before 1.2.6 I have never seen two bars, The power
would drop from 4 to 3 bars when I was searching for
tracks to play and then would climb back up to 4 bars,
I never actually saw 3 bars for more than 1 minute.

With 1.2.6 I seem to get approx 2 to 3 hours per bar. I
tried to test out how long the iPod can stay
dissconected from power, I had it dissconected for 4
days and used it for about 8 hours over those 4 days,
the 5th day I didnt use it, On the 6th day I used it
for about 1.5 hours and then it died.

So I got around 8 to 9.5 hours, not too bad, Before
1.2.6 I would be lucky to get 2.5 hours.
