Confused about the debug menu->view battery screen
On the second debug battery screen (power status:) there is a reference to "external:". I looked at the source code and some of the other docs and can only assume that this means the external charging voltage. However, my unit always displays ~5.25 to 5.3 Volts. This does not make sense if it is the actual external voltage since this should read higher.
I am running RB v. 2.3 on a JBRecorder v1.
Does anyone know if the ADC port ADC_EXT_POWER is the actual voltage from the power supply plugged into the Jukebox or if it is some other voltage?
I guess I am concerned that I may have a defective JB and/or power supply.
Thx.

The external voltage depends on your charger, and if it is charging or not. The external reading isn't very accurate, but I agree that it should show a little more than 5V. Which charger are you using?

I am using the charger that came with the Archos. The info on the plug indicates that the output is 9V.

Does the charging work?
