5x000 Battery Life
« on: July 08, 2004, 02:06:16 am »
First of if this is answered elsewhere  forgive me and please point me in the right direction...

I was just wondering what people's experiences with the battery life of the 5x000.  

I have a 5000d and my battery life is about an hour.  I am using the latest cacko rom with the battery applet patches, but I get very inaccurate readings.  However, at "some point" the z just switches off and I have to plug it in to get it going again.

My problem is that "some point" is about an hour. - and thats without my ambicom wireless card plugged in.  Is this normal?  I have a new battery coming and that may fix the issue, if it is an issue...  (otherwise I have a handy spare!)

I just wanted to see what others are experiencing with battery life.

With my 5500 I get about an hour when using wireless if I have the screen dimmed.

Without wireless I've got a lot better battery life so I try to use wireless only when needed and I go as far as to eject the card when I dont need it.
