Battery Life On A Blu.

[rygar]

Got a BLU delivered this afternoon but I'm at work until 10pm so I'll have have to wait until I get home to have a go! :angry:
Just curious, how long roughly is the battery life on a BLU compared to my NLU.

Depends realy on the Batteries you use and the CPU speed, I get around 6 - 9 hours

Well, on some cheap rechargables, I get 5 hours at 156mhz with the backlight on.

I don't have a BLU put trying to pin down the GP32's battery life is just like the PSP's; it's so damn difficult.

I'm using 2x 2400mAh rechargables at the moment with 2 constantly on charge which I swop every 5hrs play or so (Idon't play for 5hrs in one go when I'm at work - well nearly... ).
Thanks to those who replied - 6-9hrs should do nicely.

i had those. theyll last you atleast 10 hours.

It seems to me like the battery lifetime depends not only on capacity, but also on brand... GP should be fine

if you want EXTREMELY good batteries, I would get these -

well, i don't know much about the BLU, but on my FLU, using a 500mA adapter, i can't overclock to 166mhz AND turn on the light at the same time, which means that doing so probably eats up more like 600mA/hr. i don't know how much regular AAs hold, but the only rechargables i have are 1000mA, so that's more like <4hrs playing some cpu-demanding game

i wish i could get a pack of 2400mA NiMHs
