 Q5: Is it hard to change the batteries? Does it void my warranty?

 Q7: What kind of run-time can I expect on a set of fully-charged batteries

-A7: For the stock 1500 mAh cells, from 6 hours to 8 hours, depending on
-    which charger was used (see Q3) and the bitrate you use (higher bitrate
-    means more harddisk runtime). It depends a lot on the condition of the

 Q8: Can I use different batteries in my Archos? How much playtime would

-A8: Only use NiMH-type rechargeable batteries. It is considered to be safe

-    have purchaced 1700 or 1800 mAh batteries to replace the stock 1500 mAh

     In theory, running time = capacity of batteries / current drawn by device,
     so running time should increase linearly by the capacity, and 2000 mAh
-    over 1500 mAh should give 33% longer running time. In practice, the

-    (think of watts on the back of "hi-fi" speakers and amplifiers) and

 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.
-    Also, if you connect the charger, it may even destroy both the batteries
-    and the unit.
