-Q1: Are my batteries charged all the time when connected to my Player/Recorder?
-A1: Player: the charging is all done by hardware and the exact
-    functionality is hard to determine. It is however not recommended to keep
-    the charger connected for more than 10-15 hours if you're not using the
-    unit.
-
-    Recorder: no. The charging algorithm is carefully crafted in to not wear
-    out the batteries any more than necessary. If you're using your unit
-    connected to the charger most of the time, use the 'deep discharge' option
-    to save your batteries somewhat.
-
-Q2: Will keeping my charger connected a long time damage my batteries? Can I
-    leave it over night?
-A2: The charger logic lets the batteries charge until they are full. After
-    that, the charger is disabled, but the device will stay powered on and
-    continue to consume some power from the batteries (the hardware does
-    not allow running from the charger without charging batteries, or
-    powering off with the charger connected). After some time, it will
-    start charging the batteries again to keep them full. This will
-    wear the batteries a little, but overnight charging is what most
-    people do.
-    
-    As the Battery FAQ at http://www.greenbatteries.com/ puts it:
-    "A NiMH battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times,
-    but whether that means 200 times or 800 times has a lot to do
-    with how (you use it)".
-
-Q3: Does Rockbox charge the batteries more/less/worse/better than the Archos
-    firmware?
-A3: Player: Rockbox doesn't affect the charging on Players, it is all done
-    by hardware logic out of software control.
-
-    Recorder: The current release of 1.2 is much worse than the Archos
-    charger, it tends to stop charging much too early and leave the batteries
-    half empty.
-
-    The current development code (CVS daily builds as of 20.8.2002) is much
-    better than the 1.2 release, but still not perfect. Linus recently
-    measured 6 hours continuous playtime after a rockbox charge, and much
-    over 7 hours after an Archos charge. We are working on fine-tuning
-    the charger logic to get the most out of the batteries, but the
-    emphasis is on not overcharging them, since that would damage the
-    batteries. Better be safe than sorry.
-
-Q4: What kind of batteries are there in my factory default Player/Recorder?
-A4: Both ship with 1500 mAh NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries.
-
-Q5: Is it hard to change the batteries? Does it void my warranty?
-A5: The archos manual and web site describe how to replace the batteries,
-    so you're supposed to do it. They recommend using only Archos-supplied
-    batteries, but my Recorder 20 unit only shipped with one set. Some
-    units have been shipped with two sets of batteries. Someone actually had
-    Archos send him new batteries free of charge after they had weared out,
-    under the warranty. (have asked from support-technique@archos.com,
-    waiting for an answer to arrive!)
-
-Q6: How much do replacement batteries cost? Where can I buy them?
-A6: http://www.greenbatteries.com sells 1800 mAh NiMH cells at $3.25USD each,
-    and I bought 4 of the same GP batteries for 20 euros in an home
-    electronics & household appliance store in Finland.  NiMH batteries are
-    sold in almost all shops that sell consumer electronics, and in many
-    online shops. Browse around.
-
-Q7: What kind of run-time can I expect on a set of fully-charged batteries
-    when running Rockbox?
-A7: For the stock 1500 mAh cells, from 6 hours to 8 hours, depending on
-    which charger was used (see Q3). It depends a lot on the condition of
-    the batteries. We are looking into implementing more battery-saving
-    techniques in rockbox to make it rock longer.
-
-Q8: Can I use different batteries in my Archos?
-A8: Only use NiMH-type rechargeable batteries. It is considered to be safe
-    to use NiMH batteries of different capacities though, a lot of people
-    have purchaced 1700 or 1800 mAh batteries to replace the stock 1500 mAh
-    cells and have the device run a bit longer.
-
-Q9: Can I use non-chargeable batteries in my Archos?
-A9: This is not recommended. The unit has been designed to operate with
-    four 1.2V batteries producing about 4.8V at most, and using 1.5V
-    alkaline/zinc carbon batteries will produce around 6.0V, which will
-    heat up the unit a lot more and might even damage it. The Archos
-    manual explicitly tells you not to do so.
-
-Q10: Can I use a different charger?
-A10: People have successfully used different chargers with similar
-     specifications as the stock charger. The charger must have the
-     same kind of connector with same polarity (center positive/+).
-     The charger should supply at least 7-8 volts, and if it provides
-     more than 9V, it probably should be current limited (do not
-     directly plug it in your 12V car battery or it's charger!).
-     
-     Using lower charging voltage will slow down the charging, and using
-     higher voltage will cause a higher charging current, more heat,
-     and too much heat and current can damage the batteries or the unit.
-     Using a different charger will void your warranty and can be
-     dangerous to your unit, so we can not recommend it.
-     
-     Many people are happy using an external quick charger which
-     is specified to work with NiMH batteries.
-
-Q11: Can I buy a replacement charger exactly as the one Archos shipped?
-A11: The FAQ on the Archos web site and the top of the charger both read:
-
-      Output: 9VDC 600mA
-      Center positive (+) polarity
-      
-     Chargers with similar (or user-adjustable) properties are available
-     at shops selling consumer electronics.

-Q12: I often need to stop my player for about 15 minutes or so, and when I do
-     it runs off it's batteries.  I was wondering, which is best: shutting the
-     player down completely and rebooting it when I want to listen again, or 
-     leaving the unit on?  Which way does it draw more power?
-A12: In our testing we found the following results:
-         HDD off, LED off, idle 94 mA
-         HDD off, LED off, play 97 mA
-         HDD off, LED on, idle 129 mA
-         HDD off, LED on, play 131 mA
-         HDD on, LED on, play 230 mA
-         HD on, reading, LED off ~ 600 mA
-         HD spin up before read max 800 mA
-    
-     So leaving the unit on and paused consumes ~100mA, and thus much less then
-     needing to reboot the unit.  Your mileage may vary.
