Unreliable Product and Service [Posted on 2006-08-01]
I purchased a Nyko iBoost Battery Pack for an iPod mini back in December and it started failing within two months of purchase. After six months it failed to hold a charge. I notified Amazon about this and they also could not back up the product with a replacement or partial refund. Do not buy this product as there is no guarantee, either from Amazon or the manufacturer. I suggest buying an external pack (i.e. Belkin) in which the batteries are separate and can be easily charged and replaced. Chalk it up to a painful lesson learned about buying things like this from Amazon.

It does not hold a Charge [Posted on 2006-08-10]
The other reviewer is 100% correct. The iboost when charged and left unused will only last about 2 days. Then the red starts to flash and then it is out of battery. You then have to charge it again and it will last you another 2 days if not used. But if you do use it it will last a while. Like 10 hours for 1st gen and 20 for second gen. That is if you use it immedialty after it is done charging. Warning also could cause your battery to be out of sync!!!!!!

I gave a 2 stars because I brought my Ipod to listen to school everyday. (I had a TA class where I listen to music and grade papers) So it worked for that becuase I consitinly charged the battery everyday. But if you are looking for a Battery Pack that is more realiable and is recharagable (that could replace your depleting battery) look further. This is not what you are looking for.
