 A Must Have for Archos 605 WiFi 160GB May 29, 2008
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was very impressed with my purchase of an Archos 605 WiFi until the Cowon QW5 arrived. The Cowon boasts a 7 hour battery and direct to TV port with USB 2.0 Host adapter. Guess what? With this addition to my Archos 605 I not only have all the fore mentioned features, but a 160GB Hard Drive instead of suffering with the Cowon 60GB. Also about $180.00 less than the Cowon, including the $40.00 for this item.

 Excellent but a little awkward in shape May 5, 2008

I have an Archos 605 80GB and I purchased the battery dock for a trip I am taking soon. Without the dock my 605 will run playing movies, with wifi off, for about 4:20. I tested with the dock and 605 fully charged and it ran for just over 7 hours. So this gives a good boost to battery life.
Charging works much faster then via USB and about the same as my DVR Station. The usb ports work, not much more to be said. The tv out is about what you would expect for composite. I recomend the DVR Station if you want quality tv out, it has component out and digital audio.
My one complaint about this device is the form factor. It works fine if you just stand up the 605 using the kick stand, but it is awkward to hold in your hand and even worse to put in a pocket. The primary issue is it is about twice the depth of the 605 itself so sticks far out in front of the device. I see why they did this, to allow the kick stand to continue to work, but that does not change the impact of the shape.
Overall this is an excellent product to take on a trip but I would not want to use it for around town.
 It buys you 30 minutes, that's it April 29, 2008
I fly a lot and my longest time I can keep my Archos 160 playing video is about 3 hours. I wanted more so I bought this, it buys you about 20-30 minutes more of video, that's it. Now I'm trying to figure out whether to buy a couple more of them to have a reserve, or get a book to read. Wished I had another option out there but I don't.

To really get the extra battery life out of your Archos 605 wifi, this is the ticket. You don't need a computer with this, you can charge and it even has a USB port to transfer files, photos, movies and music. Check out the Archos Forum for how to use and you can even add an external portable battery charger to this battery charger for really long trips to your Archos going strong!!!
