Batteries
From wiki.gp2x.org
Translated from the GP32Spain wiki.
In this section, you will be able to check which batteries are the best for your GP2X. And you will also realize if your GP2X drains more batteries than the ones from other users, or if you have faulty batteries.
All batteries in this section has been tested with Puck2099's Battery Test.
There exists different tables for different CPU speeds, so we can better measure and check the battery life according to the CPU speed.
Ideally you should aim to firstly charge, then drain and repeat 3 times in order to get near to the maximal capacity of the batteries.
