Creative Zen X-Fi Battery Life

I just got a new Creative Zen X-Fi 32GB player a couple of weeks ago. One of the selling points for me was the stated 36 hours of audio playback time. However, on my first two charges, I have only gotten about 2 hours of battery life, with usage as follows: no X-FI, no Wi-Fi, player locked about 90% of the time so that screen is turned off, a litle bit of usage with the headphones on and volume set at or 2, and the rest of the usage with volume set at 0 to 2 and using either the external speaker or with the player hooked up to an FM transmitter in my car.
What are others experiencing? Any tips on getting the claimed 36 hours? Is that possible only with all usage with the headphones and the volume set very low?

player locked about 90% of the time so that screen is turned off, This will get you the longest runtime. External speaker & playing video will really use up the battery.

    ok, I will tkae that under consideration. Now I have another battery issue, after fully charging the MP3 player I noticed that the battery life drain rather quickly while it is off. I lost 9% of it's charge from taking it off the charger at midnight and then plugging it into the usb port of my computer the next morning at 10:00am. The clock is turned off so it should not be doing anything for those 0 hours.

  • Faulty Creative Zen Nano Plus Battery Co

    Hello. I am new in this forum.
    I bought a Creative Zen Nano Plus MP3 Player from the IT show in March this year and 3 months later, the tip of the Battery Cover CRACKS and now the Battery Cover cannot be fixed back to the MP3 Player.
    Anyone here has SIMILAR EXPERIENCE with me?
    I went down to CREATIVE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK to buy the Battery Cover but was told it was OUT OF STOCK and I need to wait. Does the CREATIVE MARINA SQUARE has a Customer Care Centre where I can purchase the Battery Cover? Hear from anyone in the forum again. Thanks

    Yes, this is quite a common occurence on the Nano, Nano Plus and N200 as the catch is very flimsy. The one on the V200 seems sturdier.
    An email to Support in your region should do the trick - in Europe they sent me one straight back in the post.

  • New Zen Micro..Battery life prob

    I bought a new Zen Micro yesterday...followed all the instructions..even bought the CCPP..while i was using the USB to charge it..i ripped 5 albums to the device...When it was fully charged.. I unplugged it.. This morning I played it for about an hour and then lost one bar on the battery icon..an hour later, i lost a 2nd bar. What's this all about?..what happened to the 2 hour life of a charged battery? When i phoned tech support they told me "sometimes when you rip an album, it corrupts the battery icon and you may not be fully charged'>..Sounds like a lot of techno doubletalk....HELP!

    A new Lithium Ion battery takes 2 or 3 charges to reach peak performance.
    You should also make sure you have the ..0 firmware which reduces the standby time, and standby drain.
    Also make sure you read the FAQ post about how to maximise battery life.

  • Creative Zen Micro seperate battery char

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a Zen Micro to take snowboarding this winter, The main reason I decided upon the Zen Micro was it's size and the fact that the rechargeable battery is removeable.
    The problem, is that I can't find a seperate battery charger for it anywhere.
    I want to be able to leave one battery charging, whilst i'm using the other one.
    All of the chargers I have seen use the actual player as part of the charger, this seems a little rediculous and pretty much ruins the advantage of having multiple batteries, might as well just buy an Ipod Mini?!?
    Are there any free-standing Li-Ion battery chargers available for the Zen Micro battery?
    Thanks..

    There is nothing specific for the Micro.
    I have seen some 3rd party chargers, which have a custom plate made for the battery, but as you can imagine these are expensi've (you'll have to Google to find them).
    I think that's the issue with a separate charger. It will be expensi've, and few people will want it, hence Creative aren't going to make one (and haven't with any of their MP3 players to-date).

  • Creative Zen Micro 4GB - battery problem?

    Hi there,
    I try charging my MP3 player via USB cable from my laptop. I see the small battery symbol with the charge symbol within it. It is not flashing. I don't have my installation CD anymore and this laptop is a new one that I haven't charged from before. I cannot get my player charged - what can I do?
    Many thanks,
    Steve

    Batteries last about 3yrs. How old is the player's battery? Is it recognized by the computer? What firmware version is on the player? Is the laptop Vista or XP ? You can purchase a wall charger so the device is not dependent on the computer for charging. This is the best price I have found on a real one(Creative) for the Micro also works for the Zen,ZenV, X-FI.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...em=30030054696

    ok i was wondering about how many months do the zen vision m batteries last how long do the zen micro photo last ? oh im not talking about usage im mean like in months

    I don't know about months. Are you wondering about the average life span? They say li-ion batteries last up to 2-3 years. For more info go here:

  • Creative Zen Nano 1GB battery chargin

    Hi, I cannot find a sales line contact for Creative UK so hopefully someone can answer my question as I would like to buy one today if possible. It doesnt appear to ship with any battery charger or mains adapter so I am wondering if I need to buy new batteries each time they run out [8 hours]. If this is the case, has anyone any suggestions for a rechargable battery that works?
    Thanx
    G

    The Nano Plus works fine with AAA nimh rechargeable batteries. The great thing about a player that uses a AAA battery is that AAA nimh rechargeables are inexpensi've, and most chargers will charge up to 4 batteries at a time. A charger and 4 AAA nimh batteries is only around $20. When a battery runs out of power just replace it with a charged one. If someone has a player with a built in battery, then when the battery power is exhausted, they can't listen to music until the player is recharged.

  • Creative Zen Xtra 40GB - BATTERY NOT RECOGNIZED BY PLAY

    I just received a brand new 40GB Xtra that absolutely will not recognize that a battery is installed; I see only the AC line icon at all times. I've read through many related threads; did a Disk Cleanup, turned the power-strip that the transformer is plugged into on and off several times, R&R the battery many times. cleaned the contacts, etc..., and cannot resolve the problem.
    My first email response from Creative regarding the matter directed me to update the Firmware. Guess what... can't update the firmaware until the device recognizes that a battery is installed. Pretty certain they never shipped firmware that wouldn't at least let the device see the battery, let alone charge it accurately, anyway.
    Waiting for the next round of emails from Creative now, but wondering if anyone here had anything else.
    Thanks!

    Yes, it did seem like it was just the battery, but Creative is now talking about RMA'ing the entire unit. I did suggest that they might send me a battery to try first.
    Thanks for your input!

  • Zen Micro Photo battery l

    Creative states that the battery life on the Zen Micro Photo should be about 5 hours per charge. I have a new player and am finding the battery life per charge to be no where near that. Is this because I constantly move the volume up and down and shut down and power up about twice a day? Once that battery icon is down to about a third full I recharge. I would say my battery would go about 8-0 hours on a charge if I let it lay out until it dies. I have no EQ and smart volume settings on, the screen is set to 5 sec backlight.
    THe first time I charged the player i didnt realize that the USB cable was only half way in , I was afraid to force it and did not realize I had to push hard to the the USB cable all the way in. The next morning the batteyr was only half charged because the cable was only in half way. when i finally realized that it was not in all the way i pused harder and it connected all the way in then charged compeltey in a couple of hours. would this effect the life of my battery per charge?
    thank you

  • Zen Micro: Poor Battery Performance Even with Firmware Upgr

    The Zen Micro's battery life is advertised to last up to 2 hours, but I am only getting approximately 7.5 hours. I have installed the latest firmware v.0.03 upgrade, and fully charged and discharged both batteries at least fi've times each (using the USB and AC adaptors before plutting into outlet). Before the firmware upgrade I was getting just under six hours of battery life. For testing purposes I am using 28kbps MP3 files, volume level 8, no EQ setting, no backlighting, and the headphones that came with the product. Since I have the player sitting on my desk, without being listened to, there's no skipping or forwarding of music tracks. Gi'ven the non-demanding settings, the battery performance is disappointing.
    I have contacted tech support and they want me to send in my player for repair or replacement. It seems this issue is prevalent for all Zen Micros and I don't want to send mine in to have it returned all scuffed and scratched and not fixed (or get some grimy second-hand, refurbished model instead).
    So I want to confirm that others are experiencing this same problem before I decide what to do. It seems it would be best to get another one from Amazon instead of going through the hassle of repair.

    I notified Amazon of the problem on Friday and got a brand new replacement on Monday. Talk about great service.
    Unfortunately the replacement is a crapper also. My second Zen Micro immediately and completely locks up when plugging in the USB cable. Since I didn't return my original unit yet, I was able to try another cable but got the same results. I fully charged the batteries, tried all of the various recovery mode options, and still had the Creative drivers/software previously installed on my computer from before. I'm running WinXP SP2 with up-to-date patches, and no other software installed since. My PC's motherboard has built-in USB 2.0 support (with power mgmt turned off) and updated drivers and BIOS, but these things shouldn't be an issue anyway since it worked fine with the first Zen Micro. I'm not able to upgrade the firmware, let alone transfer music, because of the lockup problem. I build and fix PCs for friends and coworkers all the time so I'm confident in my trouble-shooting abilities.
    The second Micro makes the first one seem perfect. I really wanted to like this MP3 player, but two defecti've products in a row is totally unacceptable to me. What a waste of my time. I should have been more suspicious about Creative products since my Muvo TX FM player was buggy as well (i.e. player would immediately shut down when powering on). I will check out the Rio Carbon or iRi'ver products instead.

  • Date of "Battery Birth" of Creative Zen Flash MP3 playe

    Date of Battery Birth of Creative Zen Flash MP3 players.
    Your Zen Lithium_Ion Polymer Battery lifespan is ~ 2-3 years OR the number of discharges/charges cycles -
    approximately ~ 300-500 cycles max. Whichever comes first will degrade the charging capacity of the
    Lithium-Ion Polymer Battery. Keep in mind, the Lithium-Ion life span begins "aging" from the time of
    manufacturing of the battery!
    Translation: If you bought a Creative Zen from Walmart,Target, Circuit City or Radio Shack, your battery
    lifespan begins when the battery was manufactured by SK Mobile Energy (You don't know the manufacturing
    date). If it was on the Walmart shelf for 2 years (You don't know this) Then, by the time you bought the Zen MP3
    player your battery "shelf life" and battery charging capacity is gone!?
    It would be very "consumer friendly" if Creative would show on the LCD display under the system/information
    screen the EXACT birth/manufacture date of the Lithium-Ion battery and the number of discharges/charges
    (300-500 max?) the battery has been through. After all, Creative manufactures the Zen and solders
    in the "non-user replaceable battery" and they know the exact date of when the battery was manufactured. By
    doing this, this would prevent "shady vendors" or third parties from "pulling the wool" over unsuspecting
    consumers eyes. A firmware change would be in order.
    Also, they should put a 0-00% battery capacity in numerical numbers near the battery symbol.
    Keep in mind, the battery discharge rate and battery symbol is non-linear.
    If Creative doesn't want to do this firmware change maybe they should do the following:
    Have just only a Lithium-Ion Polymer battery warranty (not just the player warranty)? to protect the end users from too long shelf life of a battery.
    Ref. Links
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery
    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th...ithium_battery
    A unique drawback of the Li-ion battery is that its life span is dependent upon aging from time of
    manufacturing (shelf life) regardless of whether it was charged, and not just on the number of
    charge/discharge cycles. So an older battery will not last as long as a new battery due solely to its age, unlike
    other batteries. This drawback is not widely published.[3]
    DRM? DVD Copy? Music Copying.

    I don't know the internal workings of the Zen Lithium-ion charging circuit but you should be able to use your
    Zen player just like a laptop plugged into the wall.
    Once the charging circuit sees a certain charge voltage on the battery it should shut down or go to a float mode.
    (added this)?
    Allow the battery to completely discharge from time-to-time then recharge it fully.
    From the link:
    http://www.omnica.com/omniview_electronics2.htm
    Regarding lithium-ion shelf life, one of our engineers recently met with a battery-house representati've. It has come to their attention that repeated charging and re-charging of a less than fully discharged Li-ion cell affects the battery "gas gauge" included with many devices. Over a number of cycles there is a resultant loss in accuracy. Frequently, the indicated remaining charge has little relationship to the actual amount of life left in the cell! Fortunately, according to the battery expert, the gauge will reset itself if the battery is allowed to completely discharge from time-to-time.

  • Creative Zen 20gb Battery L

    I know this has probably been posted before but its difficult to search for "Zen" 20gb because you get zen micros and touch everywhere. I bought my Zen 20gb player last week and today I thought I'd test the battery life because it seems very low. I only used the touch pad once at the start to put albums on the now playing, then I let it play......it lasted only 4hours, without touching the pad once, or skipping a track or anything. After paying 50 pounds for this with a suggested battery life of hours I'm pretty disappointed. Is this a fault or is there any software update for this?Anyone got any pointers?

    Did you fully charge the battery after you transferred music to the player?
    4 hours seems very low, but check out this page first to see if the advice helps improve the battery life, otherwise I would recommend contacting Customer Support.

  • Creative zen battery prob

    after i upgraded the firware of my creative zen 4gb to .0.05,
    i encountered a serious battery problem.the battery drains dead even if my player is shut down.and the battery drains easily.only about 4-5 hours of use(audio).
    help pls..

    Hey guys!
    Sorry for my earlier rant... I was just sooo pissed off about this player. I think I've solved my problem, here's what originally happened:
    The first time I tried upgrading the firmware, the player froze and the process didn't complete normally. After that, the player didn't want to turn back on.. it froze on a black screen right after the ZEN logo/text. My computer couldn't even see/discover the player anymore... So I had to restart using the "safe boot" option (holding down the play/pause button while turning the player on). After that, I upgraded the firmware again, and it seemed to have worked, until I noticed that the battery life sucked now, and that the battery kept draining overnight, even if the player was shutdown.
    Now after ranting and raving on this forum yesterday, I tried upgrading the player again; it warned me that I was upgrading using the same version already installed, but I did it anyway. It re-flashed normally, and the battery was full charged when I did it. From last night to this morning (over 2 hours), I used the player a bit here and there (for audio/music), and I left it on the table all night; and this morning, when I turned it back on, the battery was still full charge! So from what I can understand, the battery stopped draining overnight! (unless I just didn't give it enough time to drain by itself... even so, I wouldn't have been full charge this morning!)
    So for anyone that has had problems with this firmware, I would suggest you re-flash again, using the latest update file available... I will keep using my Zen, without recharging it, until it's drained again. I will post within a few days to tell you guys if it really seems to be working right. Hope this helps, if not, there's always the next firmware version to try out.
    P.S.: Is it just me or are the cables and such that came with the payer a little on the cheap side
    A 3-inch USB cable WTF Come on creative, not everyone has front panel USB ports! Even the stock earphones look pretty cheap, the wire's so thin, I'm afraid of snapping it! Sound quality is pretty good tho.
    Things to think about for the next FW version:
    - AC3 audio decoding please! (and all the other types of audio that are not currently compatible with the ZEN).
    - Automatic resizing filter to 320x240 resolution (while playing/decoding). I'm not 100% sure the player has enough processing power to achieve this, but it wouldn't hurt to try! It's good that the payer is compatible with Xvid/DivX but you still have to re-encode everything you want to put in it, or you'll see "can't display resolution". But since the converter that comes with the ZEN software is sooooo **bleep** slow to convert (but does a good job), any option like automatic downsizing/resizing will be greatly appreciated by anyone watching videos/movies on this thing. Would it be so hard to incorporate a decoder-filter in this thing
    - What else would you guys like to see available on the next FW update

  • Creative Zen 6GB - Battery Sign on display.

    I had my Creative Zen fully charged and then did not use it for approx. 4-5 days.....when I turned it on the battery sign on the display showed me that the battery was almost EMPTY!!! How is this possible ? Do I have to charge that thing every other day even if it's not on? I think that's strange. Any of you guys have a similar experience? Otherwise everything works as it's supposed to.
    Thanks

    If you read around in the forums you'll learn that it is a proven issue with the Zen Micro and its standby vs. deep sleep mode.. Creative is coming out with a firmware update within the next month to cure this problem of excessi've battery consumption by lowering the standby mode from 24 hours to 4 hours.
    (When in standby mode, the Zen Micro has to be ready at any moment for playback when it is turned back on, thus allowing the shutoff of the player in the middle of a song, whether playing or paused, and the return of you to that exact spot you left off.. this 'quick boot' feature is stored in the player's memory, and to keep it there the player has to constantly consume power.. whereas in deep sleep mode, the player has to hard boot for about 5 seconds (and not return you to the middle of any song), which is what will happen after 24 hours of the player being off.. however, in deep sleep mode the player needs not be 'ready for action' at any moment, thus saving a great deal of battery life. Four hours should be a lot more helpful than 24 when the change goes into effect.)Message Edited by Zoinbergs on 04-29-2005 03:34 AM
