I tested my 16GB sd card in the Clip+ in rockbox and battery life was reduced by about 10 minutes if I played off the sd versus no SD IIRC. However, I don’t know if all SD cards are as power efficient as mine. I guess its possible some don’t sleep efficiently, though I don’t know for sure.
It may be I have a card at the end of the distribution for current consumption for all I know or this is normal. A hit of 1/3 of battery life seemed excessive to me. I need to try some other cards I have in the house and see how they affect battery life. For all I know this is normal. My wife has a CZ also, I need to check out that unit too under similar conditions.
