@ -46,13 +46,14 @@ Q4: What kind of batteries are there in my factory default Player/Recorder?
A4: Both ship with 1500 mAh NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries.
Q5: Is it hard to change the batteries? Does it void my warranty?
A5: The archos manual and web site describe how to replace the batteries,
so you're supposed to do it. They recommend using only Archos-supplied
batteries, but my Recorder 20 unit only shipped with one set. Some
units have been shipped with two sets of batteries. Someone actually had
Archos send him new batteries free of charge after they had weared out,
under the warranty. (have asked from support-technique@archos.com,
waiting for an answer to arrive!)
A5: It is not very hard - the Archos manual and the FAQ on their web site
describe how to do it. Their technical support confirmed that
replacing the batteries with NiMH cells (of different capacities)
will not void the warranty. Just don't remove the screws.

Q6: How much do replacement batteries cost? Where can I buy them?
A6: http://www.greenbatteries.com sells 1800 mAh NiMH cells at $3.25USD each,
