EverDrive GBA / Re: Power Draw of Everdrive x5 Mini
« on: March 05, 2021, 07:21 AM »Hello all:
I recently got the Everdrive x5 Mini, using it on my stock GBA SP (AGS-101) and GameBoy Player. Most of the time, I've been using it on the latter. It wasn't until recently where I had been using it a lot on my SP. I've noticed while using it on my SP, the battery life is quite short.
The battery in my SP is new (Tomee 400 mAH). After tracking the last 3 charges, my x5 clocked 1.25 hours, 1.17 hours, and 1.18 hours respectively. Testing a stock GBA game (Yoshi's Island: Super Mario World 3), the SP ran for 6.58 hours.
All settings for each trials was the same (default brightness, 50% volume, etc). In one trial of the x5, I removed the SD after the ROM had loaded up to see if it would impact performance. That seemed to have no real impact.
I guess what I'm looking for is if the power draw for my Everdrive is considered normal. Any feedback or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
a stock SP battery is 600mAh so u have a problem
