HD on, reading, LED off ~ 600 mA
HD spin up before read max 800 mA
So leaving the unit on and paused consumes ~100mA, and thus much less then
needing to reboot the unit. Your mileage may vary.

Q13: When I plug the charger in my Recorder, it doesn't immediately start
charging the batteries. And when I plug in the charger when the Recorder
is turned off, it turns itself on and starts charging in the Archos
software? What's up?
A13: There is a switch in the DC IN jack of the Jukebox - when a charger (or
whatever) is plugged in, the unit is powered on, even if the charger
is not plugged in a mains outlet.
If the charger is providing power at this point, the Archos firmware
located on the FLASH ROM does not load a new firmware version (like
Rockbox) from the disk, but goes into charging mode instead. You can
use this feature to get to the Archos charger if you want to.
When Rockbox is running on the Recorder (the device has been booted
without the charger) it's power management code runs once per minute
(thus the charge level and charging status is only updated every minute).
If the battery is not full, it will start charging. If the 'deep
discharge' mode is enabled in the settings menu, it will start charging
only when the battery is almost empty.
