Here is how changing the input voltage changes the charging current:
- voltage charging current (limited only by the AJB)
- ------------------------------------------------------
- 7,0V 10 mA
- 7,5V 30 mA
- 8,0V 50 mA
- 8,5V 70 mA
- 9,0V 140 mA
- 9,5V 250 mA
- 10,0V 330 mA
- 10,5V 350 mA

To summarize:
- - do not use an input voltage > 12V
- - optimal input voltage is 10V (regulated)
- - use a fuse of ~600mA
- - using a different charger voids your warrenty
+ - do not use an input voltage > 12V (it will only heat up the regulator)

Many people are happy using an external quick charger which
is specified to work with NiMH batteries. This is completely safe

player down completely and rebooting it when I want to listen again, or
leaving the unit on? Which way does it draw more power?
A12: In our testing we found the following results:
- HDD off, LED off, idle 94 mA
- HDD off, LED off, play 97 mA
- HDD off, LED on, idle 129 mA
- HDD off, LED on, play 131 mA
- HDD on, LED on, play 230 mA
- HD on, reading, LED off ~ 600 mA

So leaving the unit on and paused consumes ~100mA, and thus much less
than needing to reboot the unit. Your mileage may vary.
