I replaced my battery with the 2200mAh, and I seem to be getting about 7 hours of life running mostly VBR (~160 kbps) mp3s. With the stock battery I'm running about 5 hours. This is using Rockbox. Not sure if I should be worried, but I do notice that my H120 does get a bit warm near the bottom of the player when I play music without the AC adapter. There's no sign of burns on the motherboard when I installed the battery.
I bought the adapter from iRiverAmerica's website, but sometimes when I use the H120 with the AC adapter and have its hard drive spin around a bit, it shuts down spontaneously shortly after Rockbox displays the menu, or if I'm lucky when I'm selecting songs. The backlight goes out first, and then the LCD shuts off. I did notice that the battery voltage dips very close 3.5 volts, the normal empty battery voltage, when I plug in the adapter, which may be why the player shuts off unexpectedly. That, or the battery was low to begin with, but I don't think so because when I first installed the battery, it was approximately 30% full when I started recharging it. I will try recharging with the AC adapter I was using before and see if the problem happens again.
