It works. At least, the emergency 4xAA charger I have for my Archos PMA430 now works flawlessly with the N800, both with alkalines and NiMhs. My 770 was a lot pickier about battery chargers: None of the (fortunately very cheap) ones you get for cellphones would work, and the Archos charger would only charge its battery to app. 80%. With the N800, it just works; it just takes longer than with an AC charger.

Unfortunately, I gave all my cheap chargers away. They would take only AAAs anyway, so the capacity wasn't that great, even if they had worked.
