The Archos will go to sleep if it's on and you simply hit the power button. Sleep means that the OS is still loaded in to RAM and it's still using the battery. If you have it undocked for several days and it's sleeping, it'll die... just like any other device that sleeps.
To turn the device completely off you have to click on Settings > Power > "Power Device Completely Off." It's 3 quick taps from the main screen.
Reading the manual takes less time than complaining.
