Perfect for long/overseas flights! [Posted on 2007-05-05]
I picked this up to use with my video iPod before a trip from the US to South Africa and it did exactly what I needed it for. As I was going to be on the plane for a long time, I didn't want to be without my music and movies on my beloved iPod. I popped a fresh set of AAs in before the trip and had some spares with me (but never needed them) and it worked perfectly.
The key is to not use this as a charger. I just made sure I had it plugged into the iPod every time I used it on the plane. That way only the AAs were being used and my internal iPod battery never lost charge.
If you are traveling overseas or doing long flights, this is a must have.
A life saver for a long plane flight. [Posted on 2007-05-11]
I have a nano, and had a 14 hour lane flight ahead of me. This unit says it does not work with a nano, but by using a rubber band, I was good to go.
It works great! used it both on the outbound and return leg, and the batteries never got below 1/2 (almost 25 hours of playing time.)
A little bulky, but quite effective [Posted on 2007-06-08]
The battery backup is a great way to extend the battery life of your iPod. It uses suction cups to attach to the back of your iPod. It is a great way to extend the time between charges. It is a little bulky, but works well. It is roughly the same size as my 60GB iPod.
Great for iPod - How about the iPhone [Posted on 2007-07-15]
I've been using this rather bulky power bolster for my iPod on long trips, and it works well. Leaving now for a trip with my iPhone, I'm wondering how this will work with that device. Anyone have any experience with that?
Could be better [Posted on 2007-08-02]
For the 30 bucks that I spent on it, I was minimally impressed. The very first road trip that I used it on, it died out in 3 hours.
The batteries were fresh out of the pack as well.
Another thing is that it will not work with the case I have on my iPod. It's one of those snug fit Incase brands. It fits just fine when I charge in my computer, however, it will not stay in with the battery pack on.
My Recommendation:
If you are going on a road trip, invest in the car charger.
