Can I use non-rechargeable batteries in my Archos?

A9: This is not recommended. The unit has been designed to operate with four 1.2V batteries producing about 4.8V at most, and using 1.5V alkaline/zinc carbon batteries will produce around 6.0V, which will heat up the unit a lot more and might even damage it. The Archos manual explicitly tells you not to do so. Also, if you connect the charger, it may even destroy both the batteries and the unit.
