What is a good "battery drain" value in battery status?

[ammarr]

Hi,

I think i get quite a good battery life, but just to be sure, what kind of battery drain values to people get here in battery status? And, how many hours (of typical use) can your wizard survive?

i wanted to asked the same thing... but why didn`t you give us your values...
for BS i dont think is that accurate.
I usually get something like 15mA when in stand-by.
My wizard works 48 hours but if i enable the push email it will only a little over a day.
Also intresting will be to add the base rom. Now i use TNT beta based on 1908

and I get ~ 122mA on MP3 playback mode. Lasts for ~ a day if the screen is off.


Regards,
Merlin

battery status infomation is not accurate, useless info

yeah the numbers it puts up dont seem to affect battery life. i always have push email, so mine dies in about a day, but with various roms, i get between 30-50 or so with just about the same battery life... it does take a while for the value to settle though...

The info does seem inaccurate, I normally get ~24-27, after I use the PPC for a little it jumps, then I'll put it in standby and it takes forever to register back down to around 27. It's also been said that battery status actually drains the batt. Can anyone talk to that?

Is there another overclocking program that has the scaling function, but just OC not any of the other crap??

I don't think battery status is as bad as you are all making out. In my experience it is provides a 'good' indication of what's left in the battery - it always looks the same as the Battery option under System Settings so I assume both read the probe the same variables to determine the battery status.
As other people have pointed out though battery life is subjective as it depends on what the device is doing. I quite happily get 3-4 days out of my Wizard, however I don't have GPRS enabled or push email.
