 great product September 7, 2008
This is a great product. It is great for plane rides and long trips and anytime you need to watch a video ipod for long stretches of time. It has saved me on numerous occasions. I now have two, one for each kid.
Power to spare August 30, 2008
I stuck in 4 rechargeable AA's in there and don't have any idea how long the power lasts. Never even come close. Plenty for loooong trips.
Cheap - and worth it! August 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this with one thing in mind - powering my iPod Touch on Transatlantic flights. When you watch videos, it really sucks the juice out of the internal battery on the iPod and you will be lucky to watch 2 whole movies on one charge. With this battery pack, I was able to watch 2 movies plus listen to several hours of music.
The only caveat I can add is that the instructions say that it will power the unit, but not charge the internal battery. When I plugged it into my iPod with a nearly exhausted battery, it did indeed charge the internal battery pack. This is not a big deal because it did what it promised which is a fairly inexpensive way to extend my time.
Works with 16GB iPod Touch! August 2, 2008
This works well with my 16GB iPod Touch. It does NOT charge the iPod (which is actually why I bought it - I previously used a To Go Portable Power IPod Energizer battery pack/charger with my 80GC iPod Classic and it made the iPod do strange things. I wanted a battery pack that simply ran my Touch, but didn't try to charge it), but runs it just fine.
This is essential for long trips or anytime you won't have access to a computer or wall outlet to charge the iPod. Yes, it is bulky and a bit awkward, and I don't see why they bother including a belt clip because I can't imagine anyone carrying this along with their iPod on their belt, but for my purposes (sitting on an airplane) it is totally worth the size and weight. It is set up to accept the (thicker) iPod Classic, so the Touch sits very loosely in the cradle.
As another reviewer mentioned, the battery level indication lights are not accurate. I started out with 4 fully charged Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries, and I immediately tested the indicator lights, of which only 3 green lights appeared. It's also worth noting that the green lights are difficult to see, they are sort of recessed behind the blue power light. Not a big deal to me, as I will always carry 2 sets of AA batteries anyway.
I haven't used it long enough to see how long it allows the iPod Touch to run for, but I will post an update once I do.
Great Product July 30, 2008
Works as described!!! I have an Ipod Touch and it works great!! It does not charge it though, the battery in the touch just doesn't drain as you use it.
The lights that say how much power it has can vary and is not always accurate. Unless its on and plugged in it will give faulty readings on its true power.
Overall it was worth the money spent!!! Will buy from again! it came in 2 days with standard shipping! Great people to deal with!!!!
