Well it's probably the same design as modern smartphones - glass sandwich with metal frame. It's not that hard to open up, any smartphone service shop could do it and there are a bunch of guides on youtube as well, most use a heatgun.
The bigger issue could be finding the specific battery, unless you could buy a direct replacement part.

There is an electric hot plate you can buy that heats to the correct temperature to soften the glue. Once glue is soft after a few minutes, you pry open the device and access the battery. Get the measurements and specs for it, 3.7 volts and the mAh. Then order a battery from eBay or somewhere else and install with solder iron.

there are relatively easy replaceable internal batteries, and there are also not so easy.. i'd prefer screws to open it easier, and standard plugs into (rather than directly soldered to the PCB).

Completed testing standby time.

Given:

FW version 0.08beta
Bluetooth -> OFF
Standby mode -> ON
Play on PAUSE
IEMs connected

23:40 -> 68% batt - start of the test
10:40 -> 65% batt - end of the test

Equals:

3% -> 11 hours = 0.27% / hour
100 / 0.27 = 370 / 24 = 15 days

So, AP80 with FW 0.08beta consume 0.27% of battery per hour in standby mode + play put on pause and can stay as long as 15 days until full discharge.

I think that the problem of headphonics is that they haven't turned on Standby mode.

Hello @kenloveme

You promised to update this thread thread about the AP60Pro firmware. Do you have any news?

The AP200 seems to be stuck in a 0.XX beta software at the moment too.

Would be appreciated!!

Cheers.

@ IryxBRO
Do you mean that the player does not automatically switch to the standby mode after few minutes on pause?
Maybe space for some FW improvement...

It does if Standby mode function is enabled (SYSTEM SETTINGS).

stay as long as 15 days until full discharge

that's a very good result. Thank you very much!!
For people having multiple DAP need need not worry too much about battery then!!

Thanks a lot for the test! Appreciate it! It really clears everything. Thanks,

Snap! Me too
Well done!

I also did a test today.
I did intend to do it for 24 or 48 hours but I think I will take it with me tomorrow. So its now on recharge.

Excuse me as I copy and paste so we have the same testing format.

Start: 21:29 today

Finish: 09:55 today

*Real time 9:45am to 10:10pm = 12 & a 1/2 hours - my AP80 clock is set improperly. But my ipod touch photos have the correct time stamp. Same, same.
(Clock has been set properly now- I am used to wifi daps automatic time settings).

(Rough estimate 12 hours - see clocks).

12 hours a loss of 2%. On Sleep mode.



I changed the theme color so you could see more easily.

Needs more full testing from 100% and watching it tick over to 95% exactly.
But we get a rough idea.

(I also didnt see I had to turn on the stand by until this morning - usually I shut down my daps anyways).

Already charged back up to 91% whilst I have been typing this. Photos taken 10:11pm, now 10:41pm.

Thanks you guys for the tests now headp about that M0 comparison I’m just curious if your results concur with others.

It's amazing what people expect at this price point. There are DAPs that cost 5 times as much that don't have these options. I backed the AP80 to replace my ageing plenue d. I am excited for what I'm getting at this price. November can't get here soon enough.

Couldn't have said it any better. Thanks

 

[egzbuen]

I might have missed it but can somebody point me to the link where there is a comparo between the ap80 and the r3.

Thanks.

This is great to know thanks!

I don't have the link at the moment, but Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews has a comparison between the two on his youtube channel, not watched it myself either yet but looking forward to it!

there's a bit of a rant at the end that hasn't much to do with the topic but the first part gives you some ideas of the differences
