Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Compatible with the new iPod, the Belkin Backup Battery Pack keeps the music playing by letting you power your iPod device with replaceable batteries-even when your internal battery is drained. It's a great solution for long plane flights, or hikes, or for anytime you don't have access to an AC outlet. The Battery Pack uses four standard "AA" alkaline batteries that you can simply replace when the charge is gone. Discreet suction cups secure the unit to the back of your iPod, without marring your iPod's finish. In addition, the Battery Pack incorporates a charge-level indicator, so you can tell ahead of time when your batteries are running low, and never be caught without your tunes again.

Ok, 1st things 1st, the add-on battery pack does work, and works well, provided you don't keep playing with your iPod - i.e. leaving the backlight on, or constantly skipping tracks (meaning the iPod needs to access its HD frequently).
That said, if you _DO_ fidget a lot (leave the backlight on for a long time, and/or constantly skip tracks), this is going to be pretty useless - as is does not CHARGE your iPod battery - it just replaces it when the iPod is "normally" playing tracks [e.g. on shuffle, or playing through a play list]. Your iPod cannot function without charge in its internal battery, so if your iPod battery is empty, the pack will not help.
The pack is also very bulky, it doubles the cross-section of the iPod meaning it cannot be used in any carrying cases and won't fit into your trouser pocket any more. Since the connector cable is also very short, this means you have to attach the pack to the iPod to use it - meaning you can't use a case.
That said, it does the job it was intended to do, and keeps your iPod looking reasonably cool in the process. The batteries in the add-on pack can be replaced at will (with any AA type batteries that you fancy) and it does add a significant amount of playtime to your iPod.
As a finishing note, I'd suggest you evaluate whether you NEED one of these, as, in my opinion a car charger adaptor or razor socket adaptor [or anything similar] that allows you to *charge* your iPod from a would be a better option - after all, it only takes 50 mins for your iPod to charge to 80% - yes eighty percent (and about 3 hours to charge the remaining 20.).

On the plus side it does what it says, using it with your ipod can provide up to 20 hours of extra music even when your ipod battery dies.
However its really big, it costs a fortune in batteries, and the wire from the pack to the ipod isnt very strong so it comes loose pretty quick. Also despite what it says in features it does not provide nearly unlimited listening time, 20 hours, tops.
Basically its good but only if your going really long journeys. If not, find a better solution
THIS IS NOT A CHARGER it only swaps the place it takes the power from.
