Just a charger, not a rechargeable battery (Rating: 1 out of 5) Dont buy or you will regret! this is a defective item and should be recalled by Archos. The battery hold less than 20 mins no matter how long you charge. I replaced twice (thank Amazon to allow me to do that), same problem occurred. the docking station did not hold charge for more than 20 mins. "Made in China" products are always unreliable. Good luck!
Half way works (Rating: 2 out of 5) After about 2 or 3 weeks. It will still charge the Archos while plugged into the wall, but after unpluging the dock from the wall, the charge is gone and it just acts like an extra base that wont add extra power to the archos.
The Battery Docking System works fine, but the main Archos doesn't. (Rating: 2 out of 5) The battery docking system works fine, there's nothing more to talk about it. But if you are buying this together with a new Archos PMP unit, I suggest you to buy something else.
I bought a Archos PMP over a month ago. The PMP crashed on the 2nd day, and I had to reset it and reload the firmware. It lost all of my music, video files I had put in it. After getting help from Archos fun forum, I fixed problem, and I learned that the "system error" happens to a lot of people.
Now my PMP is working, but everytime after I turn the power completely off and turn it back on, the white "system error" screen comes back. Luckily, after I press "no" to "system repair, reset" 4 times, the unit starts running fine. I have lost my files two more times since then.
The Archos is really cool WHEN it works, and it is packed with gadgets and function. You should get it only if you know enough about the computer and electronics so you can fix it when it crashes.
Not too impressed (Rating: 1 out of 5) Archos battery supposed to assist in (my understanding when I purchased it),
1. Make the Archos player's battery last longer
2. Gives ability to power from the wall charger
3. Gives rapid charge capability (compared to USB charging)
4. Additional capabilities (e.g. TV out, USB Host...and such)
Works but very flimsy and flaky. Poorly made (feels like home made) and most importantly, not sure it even works. Did not meet any of my test after purchasing it. Only reason to keep it is because I have no other choice in getting a USB host beside this little flaky add-on. :(
Great Addtion To a Great Product! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Been an owner of a 650WiFi now for at least six months now, and take it pretty much everywhere I go. It allows me to take my pictures, music and videos with me. And now this little gem allows me to share my media with friends even more via TV connectors (standard RCA connectors you know, yellow (video), red (audio right), white(audio left).
The output of the Archos to the TV is great, displays and plays everything on your Archos to the TV. And while it plays, it charges your battery on your Archos and itself (since its an external battery to the 605 Wifi).
Now yes it is awkward when holding it since the dock is not streamlined to the Archos, and your Archos cases will not accommodate it. This is good for traveling long distances, and if you want to display your Archos goods to a large crowd.
I highly recommend getting this for your Archos its worth it.
Don't have an Archos yet? Still trapped in iPod land?... get an Archos
you'll be much happier!
