I've been charging with flashed rockbox ever since it became available, and I
think many others have, too. My batteries are still fine. If anything, I think
the rockbox charging is a bit more conservative than the Archos version, at
least on those units where it isn't totally hardware controlled (FM's and V2, I
beleive?). I think Archos is just eager to grab any excuse they can to avoid
having to support you here. Not a big surprise.
