battery dock?

[MASTERBLASTER]

I just got my battery dock. charged it up, and when I attach it to my 605 all it does is charge it. Is this what the Battery dock does? I thought it was suppose to give you continues play. any one else have a battery dock?

Yeah, that's exactly what it does. It's very misleading. I thought the same thing when I first bought it. I found a review and test of it on archoslounge.net (a French fan site, so you'll have to translate the page via Google if you don't understand the language), and basically in order to use the battery dock optimally, you have to attach it fully charged to a fully charged 605 in order to get the 7+ hours playback. Any other way will give you less than that because the battery dock is not strong enough to send enough juice to the 605 quick enough like a 3rd party battery pack would. It sucks, but it's better than carrying around a battery pack on the side.

That is the most rediculous thing. why don't I just save myself 20 bucks and just get the minidock? So.. to you all who were thinking about getting a battery dock.
