With the auto adjustment enabled the screen goes really dim. Do not be affraid. I sleep in a dark room, and the screen is so dim that it is getting hard to even read the time. I would like to see an option where you can set the max dim and the max bright for the auto adjustment. -- Amauta

I've seen the links for the battery and it looks to be bundled with a remote control only. My plea to Logitech is, please sell the battery separately. I have other squeezeboxes and don't need or want another squeezebox remote. I'm likely to skip the battery all together if it is only available
