DS Battery life test by flashcards

• he DSLite was fully charged – As soon as the charger was disconnected, the DS was switched on straight away & the test was started as soon as possible
• The Stopwatch (where applicable) was started the moment I ‘flicked the [power] switch‘ & stopped when the DS powered down
• The DSLite was set to ‘Full’ brightness & the Volume was set to a ‘comfortable’ level (except for during the ‘Sound’ tests)
• The Same microSD card (8Gb Class 2 Sandisk SDHC) was used (wherever applicable) each time
• The microSD card was re-formatted each time using the ‘Panasonic Formatter’ – options set to: Full Format/Flash Erase OFF/Format Size Adjustment OFF
• Only the flashcard’s EOS and the required ROM/Homebrew/Files were installed for each test (EOS was installed first each time)
• Each flashcard/test was done in a random order & not the order shown below – only the test results are grouped/sorted into ‘best’ to ‘worse’ order
