Can you charge it using the Archos charger? The one thing I realized is
that once I cracked open the battery compartment, the metal casing bent
(before I got it replaced at best buy) making the cover easy to pop out,
which I just didn't like, but this may just make it worth it hehe...but
constant popping in and out cant be good for it! Whats the mah on
standard batteries anyway?

Just fitted a set of the Eveready 1850 Mah NiMh cells in my AJBR 20 and
after a full discharge/recharge cycle, I figured I see what they could
do.

I'm at 12hours now of playtime including maybe a dozen or so trips
through
the menu, and directories for various things, mostly playing large
playlists
and a few manual selections (backlight set at 15s) and the battery level
is
still at 25%. I'll leave it running till I have to go to work.

I'm running Rockbox 1.4 and the batteries were charged the second time
with
the JB's internal charger.

I paid about $12 at Wal-Mart for the set of 4.

I'm impressed.
