Battery question

I just have a quick question about my battery life...whenever I play .wma files for aobut 2 hours my meter is down to 90%. I keep processor to auto, keep the screen off, and am using windows media player.
I was just wondering if this was normal even though I did charge the battery the requisite 4 hours. This has worried me because some people are saying that they played mp3s for like 3 hours and the percent is still 95% or something.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'd say that's pretty normal. But if you're just playing MP3 with the screen off why not set the CPU to power save? It'll be running at 200MHz instead of 400MHz and save you even more juice.


I remember the days on my Casio when 2 hours of MP3 would take me down to close to 0% :)

Don't worry about it. You are doing good. I was only able to get a little over 5 hours with my normal battery (I was playing games, Processor set to auto, backlight one notch above off),
