Battery life with WiFi (non 415x users)

[Dave Potter]

In this (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24663) thread I am asking 415x users how long their batteries last with WiFi on.

It got me thinking that I'd like a point of comparison. So I'd like to run another poll for all non 415x users.

If you are a 415X user, please complete this (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24663) poll.

Thanks

I've never done a definitive test, but I believe I get in the vicinity of 2.5-3hrs with WiFi on.

More than 3.5 hours!!!!! 8O . What's that with a truck battery strapped to the back of your PPC. The poll is asking how long your PPC battery lasts, not something connected with jumper cables, or sleeves, or other slick third party add-ons.

I am lucky if I get 1.5 hours on my 5450 before I fall below 10-15%. That's why I also own two additional standard batteries and one extended battery. Can never be too prepared.

On my Jornada with a CF wifi card I will generally get between 1-1.5 hours before I get the battery low warning using the standard battery. Although some of that difference depends on which of my 3 batteries (you can never have too much power!) I am using, I also seem to get much better battery life when I am in a good signal error (like the local McCafe, which has just gone wifi!)
