From: Mike Payson <mpayson_at_dawgdayz.com>
Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2002 19:04:04 -0800 Archos uses standard AA NiMH batteries, but they are only 1500MAh, at least in mine. The internal charger should work fine, and you should get 20-25% better battery life with the 1850MAh batteries. Note, though that the documentation says to only use "Archos AA NiMH" batteries, so I suppose there is a -slim- chance of something going wrong. I can't imagine what, though.
