Battery Testing Prog

[Horscht]

Hi

Yesterday I had a nice idea that would allow comparing different rechargables with each other. Basicaly it's a program, that starts a timer when executed and writes a log file every minute (to the SD if you wish, or 5 minutes, whatever), to see how long certain batteries last. This would allow better comparison between different brands/capacities, as they would be equaly stressed (sp?). It has been done on the GP32, and it probably isn't hard on the GP2X either (I have no clue though, I am no programmer). I doubt I am the only one who would like to compare his rechargables with each other

regards

Sounds like a good idea!
Of course u wouldn't be able to use your GP2X for a couple of days though to test it right.
U sure u can handle it?

why a few days? As far as I can tell, my batteries have always lasted less than 5 hours (but I can't tell, as I never play in one go). And I could get the batteries tested while I am at school.

I thought that u'd want to test how long they last when keeping movies runnin etc. too?

well, perhaps. But still, I doubt that it could run longer than, say 10 hours (probably much less).
