8.5.2. Battery

Options relating to the battery in the player.
Battery Capacity. This setting can be used to tell Rockbox what capacity (in mAh) the
battery being used has. The default is 2000 mAh, which is the capacity value for
the standard battery shipped with the player. Rockbox uses this value for runtime
estimation, not battery percentage calculation. Changing this setting has no effect
whatsoever on actual battery life. This setting only affects the accuracy of the
runtime estimation as shown on screen.

8.5.3. Disk

Options relating to the hard disk.
Disk Spindown. Rockbox has a timer that makes it spin down the hard disk after it is
idle for a certain amount of time. This setting controls the amount of time between
the last user activity and the time that the disk spins down. This idle time is only
affected by user activity, like navigating through the File Browser. When the
hard disk spins up to fill the audio buffer, it automatically spins down afterwards.
Directory Cache. Rockbox has the ability to cache the contents of your drive in RAM.
The Directory Cache takes a small amount of memory away from Rockbox
that would otherwise be used to buffer music, but it speeds up navigation in the
file browser by eliminating the slight pause between the time a navigation button
