Product Description
The Maxell Battery Backup Pack provides up to 20 hours of auxiliary battery power for iPod players from four AAA batteries for occasions when consumers expect to be using their players for long periods of time between recharging. It includes adapters for various size players and a belt clip for ease of portability.
Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for outdoor activities, long road or backpacking trips, and any other extended period when a power source might be several hours (or days) away, this backup iPod battery pack keeps your music flowing throughout the afternoon and night. The pack connects to your iPod's 30-pin dock connector, with a built-in clip keeping it securely attached to your belt. Once attached, the backup battery unit delivers an extra 15 to 20 hours of playing time, far more than the iPod's integrated rechargeable battery. And should the backup battery start to run down--as revealed by the LED indicator--simply insert another four AA batteries (not included) and you're back to full strength. The backup battery is compatible with the iPod 3G, iPod 4G, iPod photo, iPod video, iPod nano, and iPod mini and carries a 90-day warranty against defects. What's in the Box
Backup iPod battery, belt clip, user's manual.

 An iPod battery pack is necessary on long trips May 12, 2007
25 out of 28 found this review helpful
I was disappointed when Belkin discotinued their Tune Juice, a very small external power pack that used a regular 9 volt (smoke alarm size) battery. I assume it must not have worked with all the newer iPods.
As a substitute, I bought this Maxell one. It's OK, but there are two complaints. 1) It's bigger than an iPod and with 4 AA batteries, it's considerably heavier. 2) It costs around $25.00 because it includes a really awkward collection of plastic holders, clamps, belt cilps and doodads which, for me are all totally unnecessary. You don't use a battery pack while hiking or at the gym, you use it on a plane during long flights - small and light are the important features. However, I don't see many alternatives at the moment so, I'm happy - with reservations.
 It works with 60GB Video iPod April 10, 2007
22 out of 23 found this review helpful
There is a great deal of confusion about what models of iPod work with this unit. I have the 60GB video iPod and it works fine. 15 hour flight to China and no problems at all - power to spare, even watching video most of the time. The "clip on arrangement does not fit the video iPod but that isn't too big a problem.
Works with iPod Video as well September 21, 2006

The iPod Video works well with this too, as long as you don't have it in a case. It's true that it's slimmer than the previous generations, but the suction cup holds it down with no problems.
works with G5 video ipod October 24, 2006
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
I ordered this one for traveling purpose. I have a G5 60G video ipod. I just got the backup battery pack today and noticed on the package that it was not compatible with "G5 Video". I called the Maxell tech support and found out it is compatible but the clip case is not compatible with G5 video. Even the manual came with the battery pack shows that G5 video is one of the ipods NOT compatible with this pack. After talking with the tech support, I opened it and tried it with my G5 60G video ipod and was relieved to find out it works. The clip on case doesn't fit with G5 60G ipod but if you don't need the case, it does work as backup battery.
 Does not work with 80GB Video iPod August 28, 2007

Although I read that this works well with other video ipods, I found out that it doesn't work with the 80GB version. Luckily, I purchased this from Easy Street Electronics. They immediately refunded my purchase along with my shipping costs. Extremely helpful and customer oriented vendor on Amazon. They answered my phone call immediately (with a live person) and transfered me just as quickly to a knowledgable technician (Mitch).
I'm not really sure how to rate this product since I don't have the proper ipod, but I would definitely give Easy Street Electronics, especially Mitch, an A+ and 5 STARS.
I wish Amazon would list all ipod products with a product matrix displaying what works with which ipod product.
