I am an obsessive music lover,my ipod goes everywhere with Me and I mean everywhere,laughs!!! so when I was off on my hols I just had to make sure I would not run out of power 30,000 feet in the air, half way into a 14 hour flight. Like many folk.I love my ipod video but let"s face it the battery life is crap,especially if you watch any videos,so I thought I would try and save a wee bit of money and buy a backup battery,duty free.

Be warned but is only really sutaible for ipod with colour display and video,not for Nano and ipod mini,on the whole I loved it,sadly I left in in a hotel room somewhere in Christchurch,never to be seen again sighs!!!.especially as it costs around £40 to replace,silly Me

Review of Belkin Backup Battery Pack for iPod with Dock Connector - Battery adapter 4 x AA type Alkaline - 1 Output Connector(s)
Advantages: Extra power for your pod, replaceable batteries Disadvantages: Bulky, wont charge Ipod
Does what it says on the box really.
What you have is a pack that holds 4 x AA batteries that your Ipod can run from. These batteries can be changed when they run out.
The pack has two suckers that 'stick' to the back of your Ipod and is held firmly to the backup pack and a cable that plugs into the base where the sync cable / dock station usually goes.
The downside is that the Ipod will only run from the pack and this will not charge your Ipod. ... ...especially if you want to place this in your pocket, case or something alone the lines of a tune dox (car holder).
The plus side is that you can have a limitless extra power supply and along with a series of four LED's will show you how much power is left. ...

Advantages: Lets you become more mobile Disadvantages: bulky and in the way
Have you ever been on the train, or on a long haul flight and your sitting there listening to your i-pod when it sudenly cuts out due to an empty battery, and your left with no music?

You wont have to worry about cable and wires and plugs and adaptors all you need is this and a 12 pack of AA batteries and your set. You run out of power just go down ...
