Although they were only 40% full, they worked fine and did not display the power-off behaviour I described. So I think I can safely assume the old batteries are worn out, or otherwise no longer usable for the JBR. Thanks for the advice. > The Archos Jukebox Recorder V1 was a great machine - I'm still using > mine. Yes, I love it!
