If you have one of these and intend to update your iPod on ITunes you have been warned. I am less than impressed with Apple and their dumb update, I want to find a way where I can revert back to the original version I had. This little battery pack used to be great and did exactly as it described, works excellently on long journeys. Now, here's the RUB, I have a fifth gen 30gb IPOD and I updated it when prompted on iTunes a few weeks ago now when I plug my Maxell battery pack in it says it is now not supported and will not work anymore.
Remember charge your ipod to the max before you go. This is great I have ipod nano 3rd gen the short fat video ipod. Only problem is that it is bulky, but bottom line it works. This is not a charger, but instead a battery life extender.You ipod battery meter will slowly start to go down, but it would take like 3 weeks for it to go down to nothing using this device. This battery pack lasted a 18 hour flight from LAX to Bangladesh, and about 2 days of nightly usage once I got there. Press the white button and blue led meter will show how much AA batt life you got.
The downside is the pack's weight and size. It is a solid unit built to last. Other than those two items the unit is worth the price. This unit performed very well. I used it on a 14 hour flight and I did not have to change the batteries once.
Works great. It says it's not compatible with the 5th Generation Video ipod but it is. My husband bought this for camping with his buddies - last year the ipod died and he had to hike out and charge it in the car. It was clutch this year and gave them at least 10 more hours of play.
Here is the description for those shoppers out there, Duracell Mobile Charger CEF23DX4N. Why can't all companies make products as intutive as duracell's. After reading the reviews i thought that this would work with my ipod touch 2g, however it is incompatiable, i tested it just to make sure for 4 hours and it didn't work. I instead went with a USB charger that works will all ipods; its made by duracell, plus you get the batteries and a car charger.
