Product Description
Ever run out of iPod battery without a power source in sight? TuneJuice 2 is perfect for extending the play time of your iPod for those times when you just gotta have more than what your iPod battery can give you. TuneJuice works with any dockable iPod or iPod mini. Pop 4 AAA batteries into the TuneJuice and keep rocking. It's the perfect carry-on for airplanes, road trips and ski trips. Anytime you need some serious play time and don't have access to charge your iPod, TuneJuice is a lifesaver.

It works, but not very well. There are better solutions. October 12, 2007

I bought and compared TuneJuice against two other iPod power sources that use disposable batteries. TuneJuice was the least effective and least convenient, but it did help somewhat.
TuneJuice requries four batteries, versus one or two for the Turbo Charge units I tested. The other units could recharge the iPod, whereas TuneJuice merely slows the rate at which the iPod's battery runs down so you must keep it connected continually. The iPod doesn't actually recognize TuneJuice as a power source.
When TuneJuice is connected, the iPod either cannot display its battery level or it gives inaccurate readings. Consequently the battery level may suddenly drop from "full" to "empty" without any warning.
TuneJuice can't power the iPod's if its internal battery is so low that it demands an external power supply. The iPod doesn't recognize it, can't recharge, and won't work.
TuneJuice doesn't take advantage of the full capacity of its AAA batteries, and stops working when the batteries are about half-empty. (You could use them in some other appliance that isn't so finicky.)
Despite its limitations, TuneJuice will modestly extend the life of a well-charged iPod. It's better than nothing, but certainly inferior to some other choices.

This is NOT a backup battery for your IPod. The TuneJuice2 will only work if your IPod already has a charge. To quote from the packaging "..an IPod with a completely discharged internal battery will not be able to make use of TuneJuice's battery backup capability". So if you have visions of attaching TuneJuice2 to your dead IPod and getting unlimited playtime by just popping in new AAA batteries, do not buy this product!
The text on the Amazon web page for TuneJuice2 says "Ever run out of iPod battery without a power source in sight?". I think if you buy this product you will realize how misleading it is.

Great little backup to have -- small, lightweight and ingenious! A must-have. I found that out when I DIDN'T have it on a 15-hour flight home from China and couldn't listen to my iPod. I was miserable. Never again!
