    get the official mini dock, usb chargers arent going to be as fast as that for charging

    doesnt matter if the charger is rated to a higher current than the original. So long as its a 5v tranny you wont kill anything. the battery in the player will just grab as much or little current as it wants (up to the 2A limit). but i doubt it'd get as high as 2A. The charger for my pmc30 broke after about 3 uses so i was charging it for a while on a big fancypants power supply which gave me all the draws. even dead flat i dont think it ever passed about 1.2A

    then i made a new charger out of an old panasonic phone charger for a transformer and made a new head from scratch. (i had lost the OEM charger so i couldnt just swap heads..:()

    Doesnt the 605 come with a charger?
    The mini travel dock allows charging?

    this is what i was talking about.. i assumed this came with the 605.

    This has the ac charger and has to be purchased seperate... ??

    You cannot just buy a charger and plug it into the 605 - there's no Power In socket. You have to buy one of the official adaptors and plug the archos into the adaptor before you can use an AC adaptor to charge it.

    Sucks but there it is, Archos are following the Ipod sales model now...

    I would appreciate any infomration concerning my request below.

    I have the 605 and I'm finding having to connect to a PC to charge the device a real pain. Does the mini dock allow you to charge directly from the mains. I've googled for this but can't seem to get the confort that if i buy the mini dock it will do what I want it to do.

    Thanks

    If you buy any of the docks - battery dock/travel dock/mini dock/DVR dock you can charge from the mains.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭Cionn


    Thanks for that I will try to pick one up. you wouldn't happen to know of a brick and morter shop that sells them in Dublin do you. I think peats may sell them but thats a bit of a trek off the beaten track for me.

    Cheers

    I think o2 experience shops sell them. Other than that, Currys/Pc World/Dixons.
    If you can order one on the web you'll save a shedload of money though.

    If you have a travel dock.. you still need to get the optional ac charger to charge via the mains?

    More precisely my question is.. I am buying the head cam for the 605 wifi and it seems to suggest that i have to then buy the AC main charger seperate.
    The head cam i am buying comes with the travel dock.

    I have seen some that plug directly into the 605 without the travel dock.

    Is there any sort of mains charger for the 30 gig 605 in argos? Picking it up on tuesday so would like to know. If there isn't where could I get one of the docks as i don't want to buy the 100 euro thing in argos.
