Title: how to have a succesful battery swap with iriver h120
Post by: deadheadcorey on May 20, 2011, 05:18:21 AM: I gotta get a new battery for the h120 and I want to make sure it goes succesful. I was reading that I need to make sure in roxbox to change the battery settings?

Any help would be great, thanks
